Even the Sheepheads are sparse right now. Also in the ICW with all the rain there is too much fresh water. I do pretty good in the ICW with the speckled trout.

Alabama angler's monstrous striped bass is one for the record

Pete Thomas, GrindTV.com
Wednesday, March 6, 2013 2:07pm PST

An Alabama resident has reeled in a 70-pound striped bass that shattered a 54-year-old state record and could land the angler in the book of world records for the heaviest striper ever caught in a landlocked fishery.



James R. Bramlett, 65, reeled in the behemoth on the Black Warrior River on Feb. 28.

Bramlett told Joe Songer of AL.com that he credits his wife, Janice, for urging him to go fishing. She was scheduled to undergo a hospital procedure in a few days and would need him to be around and take care of her.

The catch, weighed on a certified scale, exceeds the previous record, set in 1959, by 15 pounds. (Bramlett and his catch are pictured at right.)

"It's definitely uncommon," Heath Haley, a biologist for Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division, told Field & Stream. "This fish certainly, in my opinion, was an anomaly. It's a very fat, chunky fish.

"The previous record being 55 pounds, the fact that it hasn't been broken since the 1950s, it's just incredible that not only he broke it, but he shattered it. You just don't see them that big that often."

The striper measured 45.5 inches long and boasted a girth of 37.75.

According to Songer, the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources has already approved the catch as a state record. If approved by the International Game Fish Association it'll become a new world record (this process can take weeks or months).

The current IGFA record for landlocked stripers is a 67-pound, 8-ounce specimen landed in 1992 in Los Banos, California.

(Related: The biggest fish ever caught from a kayak.)

Bramlett said he saw the huge fish roll on the surface, so he tossed a bait and soon hooked up. The battle lasted 20 minutes and as soon as Bramlett could secure the catch, he telephoned his wife to share the news about the memorable catch--and, presumably, to thank her for persuading him to spend the day fishing.

Went fishing in Hawaii recently. Wasn't all that great. Weather not too good.

Seems like there are probably better places to go. Not sure if there is just more pressure in Hawaii or if it is that they kill practically everything they catch.

Maybe it was just not that great of fishing.

Also, I'm trying to get some help with a survey I just made. It is only two questions and should take less than a minute

http://www.kwiksurveys.com?s=NKOJIO_d2114bd7

For some research

[Seminole Red]

maybe they dont school there.../....strange ,i agree.

[100lbStriper]

I was kind of wondering where the hell are all the predator species at during this bonanza ? And most of all, how come the local bird population isn't blitzkrieging the hell out of this abundance !!!

[Seminole Red]

heck, the mullett do that down here once a year....lol

Incredible swarms of fish form off coast of Acapulco: But was surge caused by tsunami thousands of miles away?

AP) Lobstermen in southern New England are facing a possible five-year fishing ban after biologists made that recommendation to regulators, saying the drastic step is needed to save the depleted stock.

The Lobster Technical Committee of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission acknowledged "the catastrophic effects" on local lobstermen if the moratorium was enacted. But it said it was needed to rebuild the lobster population and secure the industry's long-term health.

Rhode Island lobsterman Bill McElroy said there will be no industry in southern New England if the recommendation is adopted.

"The infrastructure would collapse, the markets would be swept up. There just wouldn't be any way to come back from it," said McElroy, 63. "So it's essentially a death sentence, if they were to follow through on that."

Implementing the committee's recommendation to the commission's American Lobster Management Board is a long way from reality. The board meets in July to discuss a range of options now being devised to revive the lobster stock, including far less severe alternatives, such as no changes at all. A final decision could come by November.

Lobster board member Dennis Abbott, a New Hampshire state representative, said the committee's recommendation, though extreme, must be seriously considered given the stock's persistent weakness and the rigorous science behind the advice.

"They didn't wake up in the morning and just pull this out of the air," he said. "At some point some drastic action seems to be necessary.

"But it becomes a dilemma of trying to protect the lobstermen in their occupations versus protecting the resource and ensuring there is a resource," Abbott said.

The vast majority of lobsters caught in the Northeast are trapped north of Cape Cod to Maine, an area that accounts for about 93 percent of the catch and has recently grappled with the opposite problem - a glut of lobsters on the market.

The southern New England region includes areas south of Cape Cod down to North Carolina, with the bulk of the inshore lobster catch between Massachusetts and Long Island Sound.



(AP Photo/Pat Wallenbach)The area once accounted for as much as a quarter of the Northeast's total catch, compared to just 5 to 7 percent today. The population peaked in the late 1990s at an estimated 35 million lobsters, but the stock plummeted to around 13 million by 2003. Scientists have never pinpointed a cause for the crash, but possible culprits include overfishing, a 1996 Rhode Island oil spill, a disfiguring shell disease and pesticide-polluted run off.

(Left: A female lobster is released back into the ocean near Harpswell, Maine in this Sept. 2009 file photo.)

Since 2003, recovery has been slow, with about 15 million lobsters currently estimated in southern New England, well below the 25 million target and a sliver of the 116 million estimated to live in the Gulf of Maine.

The committee report offers some explanations why the stock hasn't rebounded, including warming waters that more frequently break 68 degrees, a temperature that can retard a lobster's growth and spawning. It can also force lobsters into deeper, colder waters, where they are more susceptible to predators and their larvae are less likely to settle in suitable spots to grow.

The report also cited fishing pressure, though it said lobstermen aren't overfishing the area. But the report said the local catch hasn't declined as steeply as the lobster population.

McElroy questioned how getting lobstermen off the water would solve anything if everyone acknowledges they aren't overfishing. He noted the southern New England's estimated lobster population was even lower in the early 1980s than it is now, and a boom followed in the coming decades. He advocated keeping the status quo, saying tough protections for lobsters are already in place, such as trap and size limits. There's no guarantee banning lobster fishing would have any impact on what could be a cyclical downturn, he said.

"It's pretty obvious to most fishermen that it's a host of environmental problems that are creating this trouble," McElroy said. "If you're not the problem, how can you be the solution?"
