There were days when I had to rack the rod because I was too sore to catch even one more blue. Fish from 13 to almost 20 pounds, one day in particular, where there was just enough of a small rip to make moving one out of it a lot of work. I'd feel it the next morning, too. |

Yup there and on the pogies when they filled Bristol harbor - solid week of up to 20+ blues and 40+ stripers with some 50's. It was insane. |

Today, most consider a 14lb bloofish a monster, ?? So most won't know that when bluefish get into the 17-18+lb-range, they start to take on a different shape  .....can you imagine if bloofish reached the 50-60# class?   |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
