Are ya'll talkin' about Black Drum ??? ...

Re: NORTHEAST( BLACKFISH )
 

no not talking about Black Drum.

We have what they call Black Fish or Tautog, They live in or near the rocks, give a hell of a fight, best bait is green crab's, but they will take other bait as well.

And they have one hell of a set of teeth!! Look human!

Although capable of reaching large sizes, tautog are very slow growing. The largest tautog caught with hook-and-line in Massachusetts weighed 22 pounds 9 ounces. However, the average fish caught by anglers is 6 to 10 years old and weighs 2 to 4 pounds. Males typically grow faster and live longer than females. The maximum age for males appears to be about 35 years.

Nope, sorry for the misunderstanding. I was talkin bout tripletails, we also call em blackfish. They are like giant bream. Excellent eating and fight like a pissed off VW.
