we used to catch 20lb blues all the time just screwing around as kids....

A 24 pound bluefish? Caught 20 pound bluefish "All the time screwing around as kids"

I don't know you Striper Haven and I don't mean to offend you when I say this, but sorry, I'm calling BS on this without pics of this thing hanging on a scale. No effin' way.

If you want to see bluefish that are over the 20 mark then you need to liveline tog in the early fall off a bridge with a double steel leader rig. Keep the tog on the surface flopping in the rip. The bigger the tog the better. The blues this big usually only school small for some reason about 6 together on average. But they are total beasts and will rip apart a 5 lb tog like butter. And when they are around that big there are usually a few fat bass under them. Pm me if you want to know more.

Dont feel a need to defend my fish or the scale it was weighed on, but will say the more time you spend on the water the law of average goes up in catching large fish, whether it by bass or blue. This is the largest blue I have caught in my life but have a similar fish...... 22#s 2 ounces weighed at Cherrys in Plymouth when I was 14, and we did catch 18-20lb blues with some regularity back in the late 80s and early 90s. I dont need convince anyone here what I caught, thats not why Im on here....just sharing a fish that ended up on my hook. An why lie about a blue? If I was going to I would probably say I caught a 50# or maybe even an 82#!
