Assateague is kind to this guy

52-Pound Reward For 5-Year ObsessionI will always remember our family vacations on assateageu. Everything about them seemed bigger and more exciting than anything I did as a child. I think this guy would agree with me. We never bothered with the record books or pictures but I,m sure we caught something that big..didn't we. Those fish always grow with time. Kirsti Dan and I visited Chingoteague on our now famous R V vacation as a pure coincidence it was on pony roundup weekend. It was great fun and everyone really enjoyed it. I was surprised at how little the Island had changed, it was just as we left it 35 years ago, same family establishments, docks, and even the Gus bang clanc bridge still remained. Next time I go I'm going to be a little more serious about surf fishing.

I love the ending. He put it in the cooler and kept on fishing. He would have been less of a fisherman if he had hightailed it out of there to the scales and photo session.
