A mid-fifties fish was caught in the Cape Cod Canal this week on a pencil popper.

A guy named Rob got a 63 in the surf on the north shore of Long Island last week. He's wearing a wetsuit in the photos, and the fish is incredible.

Re: Fifties Count -- 2009
The guy with the 63 doesn't show any strain holding that bass. Is the bass held up by a stick behind it? All the fiftys I've caught had to be held up with 2 hands.

Somebody pulling my chain here?  Where is the stick? Better yet, where are the muscles on a guy who holds 60 pounds like it were a Twinkie?  I pray my grand-daughter don't come home with this guy  .

Re: Fifties Count -- 2009
We are up to about 25, after throwing out the phonies. Not bad, I have a feeling we are going to have a decent year.

Re: Fifties Count -- 2009
That pic looks phoney as a four dollar bill.  :
People are starting to post up bogus reports all over the place.

Re: Fifties Count -- 2009
A guy reported a 65 pounder from NJ with a pic that he released. The pic looks legit.

I have to agree with Frank and Al on this one 
It is obviously a large fish, but can't see anyone holding a 63 pounder with one hand. Photoshopped? Maybe...  63 pounds? Not by what the pic shows... Just my opinion of course...
