46# at race pt about 6 years ago. it was october and there were waves of bluefish hitting the beach all day. we had emptied out our tackle boxes and took a ride to nelsons to restock. when we came back there were fish for as far as the eye could see up and down the beach. i was getting tired of loosing lures but there was no way to work the edges - there was no edge. i noticed some big shadows in the 1st wave, so i start throwing at them.the water couldn't have been 2' deep. the line comes tight and it's on.this is my 1st large so i tell myself to calm down and let her do her thing. after a few swhe is on th beach and a few guys are coming over to check her out. i'm shaking w/ excitement and need to re-tie because i can see more fish in the wash. so it takes me forever to retie and next thing you know,back to back fish of 46 and 43 lbs. those were the only stripers i caught that day.
