my 9 year old son had 2 10lb bluefish on an afterhours pencil last week- when i went in the wash to land them the 50 lb. leader broke about 6 inches above the plug. 1 20 dollar plug vs hand-to-hand combat with 20 lbs of pee'd off bluefish on 1 plug wasnt worth it... but watching them swim off attached at the lip was pretty funny.
thinking i'd be mad my son learned about "the cost of doing buisness"
If any of you guy catch a bluefish with a tattoo 3oz sea dog in it's maw, it's MINE and yes I want it back! even if it's in RI or Long Island or something, it's possible the fish was scared and took off so I will send you my address....
