I did get out yesterday for blackfishing. Did not do well and nothing close to being in contention. We did get in to some serious bluefish action on the way back. Although, not a winner, the biggest was 8-9 lbs (scale was jumping around a lot). Scale shows 8 lb 5 oz with a state record of 24 lb 13 oz for a score of about 34%. Before I knew it my buddy had slit her neck so I think it lost some weight in blood!! ;)
Blood and guts baby! One of the guys wanted to keep a few and bleeds them out to improve flavor.....Notice the bluefish puke all over the deck.....they were eating peanut bunker like crazy.
Unusual catch of the day was this ~1.5 lb lobster. My hook was actually snagged slightly into her claw. I was going to take it home for my wife but noticed she was full of eggs so she went back in the water.
