Ed Lambert from Byfield, MA caught this 24 inch at the point yesterday at 3:30pm using clams. Not a keeper but made for a better day. Released him back unharmed.

    If the intention is to release please do so quickly and not drag it up onto the sand for a photo-op. Place a 24inch marker on your rod so you can quickly judge size and the release them without much if any time out of the water.

    I’m with you JH…the more C & R the better and the faster the release the better.

    It was back in the water in under 30 seconds. Not dragged. If people want to go the conservation route about stripers then I guess you throw back all the 15lb plus fish cause they are more than likely females right.

    Guys, the 2011 MA commercial harvest was over 97,000 bass landed 30″ plus length. If we want to conserve then stop the commercial harvest of Bass and declare it a game fish.

    Just to compare: the photo op of the total commercial catch would be a row of Bass laid side by side from the river to the end of the Refuge.
