Do you know bigger ones have been caught within sight of PTown around the turn of the century? The gully between Ptown and Stellwagen was a hot spot before they were fished out according to Bigelow's "Fishes of the Gulf of Maine" . Dragger pressure has kept them from ever coming back. Sad. It would be nice to float around within sight of land on a nice March day and catch 200-300 lb fish. Then again, the best swordfish grounds in the Atlantic were within sight of Nomans, and that is all gone as well. People don't realize what we could have if things were managed better......much, much better.
