A 51 for Kevin Many

Every dedicated striper angler hopes to break the 50-pound mark which is achieved only by a few during a lifetime. However, those odds change greatly for those with the last name of Many.

Chuck Many has put many anglers into 50-pounders aboard his Tyman from Highlands, and Kevin Many joined that elusive club last week when he released a 51.

Chuck Many specializes in big bass off the northern N.J. Shore by slow-trolling live eels. He uses a certified 60-pound Boga Grip scale to weigh bass in the course of tagging them with a Gray tag.
