nice fish joe... and great pics!!
it reminded me of an experience i had about six or seven years ago. i was fishing point judith one nite to the left of the east wall, using eels and getting into some low to mid teen fish. during one of my hookups as i was reeling in, i felt a hard thud, and the fish stopped fighting. it was still there, but the fight was gone. as i got the fish in and my light hit it, i noticed a silver dollar sized bite taken out of the fish right behind its dorsal. seemed too small to be a shark bite, so i wrote it off as a bluefish. it wasnt bleeding at all but was definately into the meat. when i proceeded to start unhooking him, he sprung to life and started thrashing about. i contemplated keeping him for the dinner table, but he seemed no worse for wear, so i laid it in the water to "revive" him and he damn near shot out of my hand! so i guess its safe to say that these fish do okay... even with some nasty looking wounds.
