 | Wrong-o, there. You need to look the 'it's the fish' debate up on the Biology board, plenty of discussion by biologists there explaining the entire debate. |

 | Up here I say any legal beagle 48 is a trophy fish that most don't get to see.when a 50"hits the net we are totally stoked and the trip is a success.55" is a dream but is a very real possibility these days.50" is still the gold standard. When we talk of great fisherman up here in these parts we talk of how many 50's were caught outa his boat this year. 55"will never be the new 50" it's a whole new ball game and a whole new level that one can't expect everytime we go out. We hope to catch a 50" everytime we go not a 55" I think that would b some lofty goals.thats like a lifetime achievement, not every fish trip |

 | I think that a fish over 46" inches is a nice fish. A 50" fish is a trophy fish. And a 55" inch fish is a fish of a lifetime at least for in Northern Illinois, I'd love to have one of those at the end of my line...  Crank |
