20 lb bluefish
« on: September 07, 2013, 04:50:07 PM »
sailed to 17 fathoms today and came upon a fleet of maybe 15 boats. We were greeted with 17 to 21 lb blues for hours on end. They ate everything in my livewell and swallowed countless jigs. They bit right through 50 lb leaders so we switched to wire. By the time we left there were over 40 boats from all over. So if your in the mood for monster blues head to 17 fathoms and bring your arsenal you will need it!!!

That's a tremendous day.  Especially considering how scarce the big blues have been all year.

Great catch! t^

Its better to sit in a boat and think about God, than to sit in a church and think about fishing.
