that reminds me...we went on a tuna charter last year and found nothing, so the captain brought us over to race point near provincetown MA and that was our first experience w/ bluefish. Since it was September, these things were massive (easily 1.5x the size/girth of the one in the one in the above image)...I swear a few were a good 20-25#. I wish I weighed one. We used tuna gear on them (heavy braid and conventional reels) and hauled them in w/o tiring them out and they were bouncing all over deck. Even when thrown into the cooler, they'd bounce off the top of it so hard, they'd almost get out so someone had to sit on the cooler to keep the lid on. Tap on the side and they'd slam the top of it like crazy.
How's that for bluefishtalk? :-)
