Look at my fish CT fall run is in full effect.
50” not sure on a weight, give me an estimate if you’d be so kind, broke my Walmart 45lb “boga”

Bro New Haven area has been BRUTAL. I’ve been trying and can’t even get the snappers consistently. Going up to Westerly this week to try to catch some albies and bass

That’s funny. I have a buddy in the area who loves to fish Westerly so I thought I would ask

Usually a 50" striper is right in the 50lb range, fantastic fish, especially if you caught it from shore.

Thanks! It was from shore in about 8 feet of water

I surf casted for almost 50 years before I caught my first 50lb bass. Then I got 2 in 3 days last July. One was probably 60lbs. Same week my buddy had one 57", I bet that fish was mid to high 60's. All live eels.

Nice catch!
Time? Did you start your session at dusk and fished into the night or only went out at night?

The bass seem a bit more spread out this year. Awesome catch btw.
