Several years ago on the Saturday of Columbus day weekend a friend and I hit a sun up to sun down blitz on a Long Island beach. The surf was light we saw many sights this day. At times 20 lb bluefish were chasing 5-8 lb bass and weakfish right up onto the beach. Many times that day a wave would crest and dump hundreds of big weakfish onto the sand with these monster blues in hot pursuit. We spent some of the morning putting the fish back into the water that got stranded high and dry. We caught small keeper bass and for the most part monster blues. My biggest blue came out of this blitz at 22 lbs. This fish swallowed a 3 oz pencil popper all the way down with only 1" of the plug still showing like a cigar. My muscle ached for 3 days after that blitz.
