Last night while fishing the shallows of rocks and bubbleweed I hooked into a fish. It fought like a good sized bass, making a couple of runs and offering frequent headshakes. Fortunately I had my light. GATOR BLUE.

I hate those monster blues at night. Glad you had your light.

Foul hooked a 14+ blue in the back one night with PIemma.
Was convinced it was a 40lb bass...

oh well

Foul hooking = add 20# to the fish :)

My wife foul hooked her one and only bluefish one night on Lobsetrville Beach. It was hillarious. Struggled like you wouldn't believe. Begged me to take the rod I refused. After about 20 minutes I told her to back up, whcih she did, about 50 feet. She had verybody on the beach in stitches. What an epic battle.

Gotta respect the fight a big blue puts up when hooked from shore.

I took my brother out last year for his first time surf fishing. We fished a power plant outflow which had lights around it. He got to my house at 4 am and were fishing at 4:15. He got the first hit at about 4:30 that ran like a train. From then until about 11:30 it was non-stop blues, with a break or two to rest our arms. They were all between 10 and 18 lbs with most on the higher end. It was the most insane nonstop action I had yet. The funny thing was he thought it was a regular occurence.

We never did get back that far out on that reef. Boy, did we smoke bass for 2 or 3 weeks straight every night. Has to be 4 or 5 years ago.
