i was out today in 4 to 6's looking for the bonita.
couldnt find'em. figured i'd shoot out a bit farther and see if i could find a few weaks at the rubble.
snagged some bunker on the way out and decided to drift a couple for bass or whatever.

SLAM! my bass rod is a 6.6 stiff med. strung up with 25 mono on an oldie penn reel which i cant tell you the name.

starts ripping off line like a 50 lb bass but i know its not.
bout 20 minutes in i finally see color.
phukkin huge blue. not my biggest but dam near. took him on a bass hook. cant believe he didnt go through the leader. went 20 plus easy. maybe 25. didnt have a scale and i dont kill just to kill.

took a bigger one years back on a 50 shark setup but this one was something special. this was a tournament fish. measured him up. . . . went 34.5 inches.

biggest bluefish anybody?

Nice Blue Chuck. Some people hate catching Bluefish, but I, on the other hand, find them a blast to hook up on.
In 2000, I caught my biggest to date. 37" and weighed in at 22 lbs. 11 oz.
Prehistoric looking beast.

Nice fish....next time measure the girth and you can estimate weight:

(length squared X girth squared)/800

My biggest is in the 15 lb range. NY record is 25 so you were close....
