A buddy of mine hooked a bluefish. There was a seal between him and the fish. The seal eat the bluefish and the battle was on. Eventually the line parted at the knot.
I am thinking of trying to land one of these things. Hooking a live bluefish to a stand up tuna set up and live lining it from the beach.
There are enough of them around to make it a sport-fish IMO. I will release it once beached but I want the satisfaction of winning the battle.
game on! Lets see if he can strip a 50 wide.

That'd be cool to watch. I won't ask you to videotape it in case the greenies get a hold of it :-P

I've been saying this for a while now. Live lining bluefish for seals. Instead of cooler racks on the front of a truck, you fabricate a fighting chair.

I've battled seals on a couple of occasions, they are tough bastiges, that ended up winning. Snapped a rod fighting one, one time, the others just broke off after a while. I'm certain when they arrived back at the haul out rock, their mouths weren't functioning properly.

I was toying with the idea of live lining a bluefish with a handline when nobody was looking. A giant tuna type setup attached to a nice Danforth 8 or 12S. I bet you could get the seal to jump!

Brilliant, except at the rate you're going it would take you all fall to catch the bluefish.
Great !!!!! Then live line it for a great white !!!!
