I feel small compared to some of you guys. My biggest is only about 13#, never weighed but another site member was there and estimated, I'll take his word for it.

How big is that one in Red Top? Biggest I've ever seen.

Swimmer · 09-24-2006, 10:09 PM

17.60 pounds, caught at sunrise the last day of the vineyard derby 1985.

I like bluefish and I think thats really all that matters......this is a "biggest bluefish" thread not a "who hates bluefish" thread.....if you hate them so much then just be happy there is one less!

FormerUser · 09-25-2006, 04:59 AM

In 1986 in late fall I was fortunate to be present for a blitz of truly huge bluefish.Most over 20#s with many as large 22-23#S!I have yet to ever see anything close to that since though I did get an 18#er earlier this year.

Maybe u should change ur name to Bluefish..

Ya Ya...We kinda need em lots of bass blitzes on shore happen cause the devil with fins drive or pin the bait in.they wreck ur plugs an hardware.They make tackle shop owners happy.If bass ever go away again I guess they would be the next best thing.
Thank you for makin the world a one less blue fish place.

Blitzseeker · 09-25-2006, 08:37 AM

I never keep or weigh blues so I'm not sure, but if I catch a real big one I'll often measure length just for fun. I've caught many in the 36-38 inch range and fat. So maybe 17-18 pounds or so might be the biggest?

All from shore.....those alligator sized ones fight like crazy.

Striperhound · 09-25-2006, 05:53 AM

Larry,

2 Years ago Labor Day weekend 39" 21.6 Lbs sucked down a Pencil Popper then sounded and fought like a nice bass. never surfaced until I slid it onto the rocks. Thought for sure I had a 30 lb bass until I slid it onto the rocks.

Karl F · 09-25-2006, 06:00 AM

I am surprised that clammer hasn't blasted off yet

he must be undercovers

he will go nuts when he reads thits thread, I bet...

eelman · 09-25-2006, 06:07 AM

As Habs said, The hill used to have some monsters, there not there anymore like that and that was about 12-13 years ago....fish between 15 and 20lbs in september and October mixed in with the bass.....They do fight like nothing else........

CONGRATS BF

A 16.78lb from the beach on the vineyard 1999

RIROCKHOUND · 09-25-2006, 07:02 AM

Who knows.. 14-15lbs were fairly common deep water off newport years ago... Numbskull was right though different animal in shallow water...
in a boulder field a couple years ago... in the middle of a good night of 10-15lb bass I had a swirl, set and screamed line... after a good fight I pulled up a 14+blue snagged in the back with a 7" rebel... PIEMMA heard me cursing up a bluestreak from 100yds away, thought I finally had my 40 that night... d'oh

zimmy · 09-25-2006, 07:32 AM

17lbs and some ozs. at hatteras when I was 6. Nice fighting fish at that age or any age.

likwid · 09-25-2006, 07:44 AM

22 and change off Seguin Island Maine.

beamie · 09-25-2006, 07:54 AM

16.5 Gutted. So that may have been 18.5 on a bucktail at the dumping ground outside Boston around 1984.

GeoffT · 09-25-2006, 07:58 AM

I don't care what NIB says, even though I'm a fellow Jerseyan.

But I'll take a big blue anyday just for the fight they put up. And they're getting bigger and bigger not to mention more numerous every year with the huge schools of bunker we're getting now.

My biggest so far was about 35-36" in length, not sure of the weight. But I was at a huge bluefish blitz at IBSP this spring where blues up to 20 lbs were taken. Some of those things I saw caught were absolute monsters, just big nasty-looking buggers.

Nebe · 09-25-2006, 11:21 AM

one night last year- walked 30 minutes to a spot and took 3 casts with a darter into the rrrrrip- first cast had all hooks straightened- I figured it was a horse bass over 40 lbs. 2nd cast after bending my hools back- 14.5 lbs on the boga- next cast 15.5 lbs.. after that i screwed outta there.. to me, gator bloos are a nice fight, but its not what i am after.

Striperknight · 09-25-2006, 11:46 AM

choggieman · 09-25-2006, 05:45 PM

consecutive casts from the beach one night two years ago, both fish were 40" and I figured over eighteen lbs. They fought so hard I still thought the second one was a bass over 40

scottl · 09-27-2006, 08:40 AM

I saw Larry's trophy monster Blue in Cutty--WOW, fat like a basketball. My biggest was a 19.5 pounder I caught using a 3 oz pencil on Island Beach State Park last spring. I just stood there on the beach staring at it in disbelief. Some of my friends thought I was crazy so we went back the following day and I got a 19.0 on the first cast of the morning. The guy next to me got an 18.5 pounder and it was his first day surf fishing ever.

Hey Larry,
Thanks for the plug, you and Don are great guys, we'll have to hook up sometime in the future.

Biggest bluefish I have ever caught or seen! Only 35 1/2 inches long, 21 inch girth....it looked like a tuna! Kind of a milestone for me...I always wanted a 15 pounder on my own wood! Nice when you set a goal and you reach it....time to work on the 40, 50 and 60 pound bass!

So what is your biggest bluefish?

Nice fish larry !

But you haven't fought a big blue fish till you've fought it's bigger cousin, TUNA !!!
