Now for the main course
We love Big fish….especially the ones that go back in the water after a quick photo
it is our pleasure to announce the winner of May STRIPERTHON 2011 Catch and Release Photo contest.
His name is Ron DiCostanzo and he is a plug-ho 🙂
….ok , he is more than that, he is a guy behind Lordship Lure Co.
In early May he made his maiden voyage to Promised Land, aka Cuttyhunk, MA. He was told that he was too early in the season, that the water was too cold, that he is wasting his time, that bait is still to the south….
He didn’t beat his personal best once….he did it twice in one night.
Including this beauty,, congrats Ron
you’ll find out the whole story in future edition of the Surfcaster’s Journal Magazine

↓He caught it on one of his Lordship needles- so that makes it even more sweet and in waders. So you don’t always have to have a wetsuit at Cutty to catch the fish of your dreams.
