Caught on a black salty offshore size about 3 seconds after it hit the water. Fish was released right after photo. No scale, but it was 52 inches long and had a girth of almost 31 inches!
Fish was caught in late April of last year in NJ off my buddies boat. We left out of Sandy Hook, and fished somewhere ourtside the Barnegeat light house. This was the largest of the 20 plus fish(36-52 inches) caught on Black salties, all released. The baits only last about 20 minutes or so once they hit the salt water. They look an awful lot like large pike shiners. There is no way they can reproduce in salt water. They are not legal for fresh water use in any of the northern states, but I can find no law banning them from salt water use. My buddy gets 10 pounds fed exed, and keeps them in a converted koi pond at his house in NJ. He puts a cooling bar in the pond, as they do not do well in warmer water. The stripers commit suicide on them, let me tell ya!!!!
