Size of the blitz

Blitzseeker,

What you saw in the video clip was only a fraction of what I captured that day. There were areas close to a quarter mile in length that exploded off the Newport War College. At the same time the shoreline was smoken' there were countless pods, each one at least an acre in size popping up like mushrooms in the rain.

This went on for hours. I've never seen so many peanut bunker getting their tails handed to them by blitzing blues. A good friend of mine saw someone fall out a boat and into one of those feeding frenzies; he said the guy never stopped screeming and that apparently he got back into the boat without a scratch...good thing he wasn't wearing a bunker costume or had a jar of smelly jelly in his pants pocket.

Eastendlu,

DivX is a powerful compression codec, but when you start out with high def and you have multiple layered elements (video in video, video in moving graphics, transitions, etc.) and the content is nothing but fast moving objects in a low contrast situation, you have all the worst elements possible for compression. Anyway, try and get a look at it on a 12' wide screen with stereo sound...I previewed it at the Barrington High School yesterday and it was awesome.

Joe,

You're right I should have simply said, "Wicked big, wicked good!" or is that the trade marked tag line for a Newport Creamery, Awful, Awful?

Everyone
  • What was the biggest blitz you've ever seen?
  • What species of fish?
  • What were they feeding on?
  • Where was it?
