Mr. Kav--I believe the fish was caught around 5 years ago off of Nan. Beach. It was estimated at 250 lbs. If you ever get down to Hull b+t, I think there is still an article about it posted there. The fish apparently got disoriented and swam right onto the beach. The action this year was amazing. According to a number of lobstermen, this has not happened in over 15 years as far as numbers of fish seen. The fish seemed to hang on the 120 line east of Graves to Minots, and I'm sure much farther south. I managed to hit one with a ldead pogie but that's about it. There were some 300+ fish mixed in with the "small" ones! A boat at Hewitts hooked up on a 80w for over 45 minutes but lost it in lobster gear. They were livelining pogies. My plan was to jig up a bunch of bluebacks and use the live chum method but I never got out after them again. Maybe next year.
