Tons of bass they say. Al Fish Story hypes it up. Tom Fote tells the government not to worry
Well here's the real truth
On 5PM Wednesday day before Thanks giving the anual 5 surf club tournament hosted by SRSA starts and ends 12PM Sunday,
Shark River Surf Anglers wins it all with 2 fish for a total of 23 pounds yes a 10# and 13# fish
The other 4 clubs nada no fish over 30 inches.
Another example of epic fishing Charlie's tackle has their tournament.
First fish caught a 5 3/4 pound bass gets $500 as rules said 1st legal fish never mentioned a minimum size so a guy uses a bonus tag and takes money
Fish led tournament and almost won $1300 but at the last minute the 13# fish from our tournament wins it
So much for the efforts of over 500 guys
