Hey John, I am for hook and line comm too. Va season has been closed to comms (ocean anyway) for about a month since they reached there quota. I think CCA is making some progress with the NC contingent but hopefully we can get them down some more but the NC legislature will have none of it.
If what I understand aboout this big fish is true however, she was caught just south of the Va line where there is a pretty good surf fishing thing going on. Long stretch of fairly isolated beach that you need a 4 wheel drive and a permit to acess. (from Va anyways. )Well before Oregon Inlet.Check out this thread from our home board :

By the way John, thank you for the kind words, I am real hopeful that I can fish again,but then again I am happy that I can still walk [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] .
