about 5 years ago down in Long Island In October I was on the beach with a buddy. We had 15-20 lb slammers in the surf for several hours. On this morning we watched those same 15-20 lb blues chase schoolies and 3-5 lb weakfish right out of the water onto the beach. Several times we saw bass and weaks missing the last several inches of the tail ends. Most of the morning we went around picking up the bass and weaks and throwing them back in the water because they jumped so far up the beach onto the sand. These blues were so big and aggressive we were throwing big 12" pencil poppers and almost every one we caught had swallowed the pencil so far down only 1" was sticking out of its mouth. It was nature at its best. Eat or be eaten.
