The gentleman i spoke of in NJ is a commercial(yah I know) fisherman with over 45 years of experience. The majority of his cows come on livelined scup, black salties, mackeral, eels, and tautog. Beat the larger baits up a bit, send em to the bottom, and hold on! He chums like hell too......

He has over 40 fish over 50 pounds landed on his vessels, but he still says his best accomplishment was his shore caught 43 pounder. Boat caught fish just don't have the same meaning, unless they are 70 plus. A 60 pounder to him is just a big paycheck......

Throw a piece of plastic or metal and land one of those cows, then thats impressive!!!

any pond on the cape has fish like that .we caught them on bread baits in just about every pond that was never "reclaimed" when I was a kid. Never tried them is salt water but the large mouths used to eat'em up.

Interesting point whiplash. Should saltwater fishermen be pl#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g goldfish and sunfish out of the local lakes and experimenting with them in the ocean? Someone could discover that say, PERCH make great striper bait. The next thing ya know every striper fisherman with have a livewell full of them.

ANd for all the greenish police here, would it be legal?
