Nice fish. That reminds me of my childhood fishing off Plum Island in Massachusetts. Thank you for sharing.

i was fishing 7 or 8 years ago in the same area that you were at. i caught a 36 inch bluefish and 10 minutes later my friend caught a 39 inch bluefish. i have fished there for 40 years and that's the first time either one of us has done that. we have never seen them there like that. there was a school of them and they cut us off 6 or 7 times before we got these 2 in the boat.

If you want to catch blues like that on almost every cast head up to the New Bedford area after Labor Day. They school up in Dartmouth harbor chasing the menhaden. You can also catch them in Boston Harbor about the same time.

There are 500 lb Bull Sharks in there too .

That thing was ginormous!! Thanks for sharing 👍

That was a big ass blue fish

Fish have to come on the boat or it doesn't count in my neck of the woods. Even though you didn't land it, hats off to you sir. That was one heck of a chopper blue and I've never caught one like that before. Good stuff. 👍

We call that a Palm Beach release. Im so glad the lure came free because I really didn't want to put that thing in the canoe.

@@alamanamoose I heard that loud and clear. Lol. Right on man. I'm glad that treble didn't get ya too. That would have hurt with the rod bent so far over. I enjoyed your video. 🤙

Wowzers!

In Jersey that's a typical sized Slammer. They are the hardest fighting fish! Good job of catch and release. Lol

They don't try and run up into the mangroves like the big snook. Stayed out in open water for the fight. I've been here my entire life and never seen a bluefish that big here. Usually ours are 12 to 22 inches. Maybe 2lbs on the bigger ones. Down at Sebastián I've seen them up to 5lbs. My buddy put up a full video on his channel @FishingAroundFlorida you might like.

I live off Riverside and park... Nice

Pretty sure it was a ladyfish splashed. I checked it three or 4 times today and it was dirty a couple times. We got into some big ones again today so after my nap I'll be uploading some more video

Are bluefish edible?

I can't eat them. I'm aware that some folks do, but they are nasty.

How bent up were your hooks? 😂 they destroy lures! BTW I’d rather each the sole of my boot than that critter lol For all my northern friends whom may argue. They don’t taste the same once they get down here in the warm water. They’re like cat food. I have family in NY. The Blues here are barely edible as opposed to up north. Some folks smoke them I guess,but with all the nice white meat fish we have in Florida why bother? For the dream Yeew! 😎🤙

Net?

No net. Lip grip is all I carry because I never usually catch toothy critters. Snook are like bass so I thumb those. Trout and reds get the lip grip. Im glad it got off right when it did because the plan was to grab it by the tail and I think that was a bad plan.

A ladyfish splashed me earlier and got some on my gopro lens. I will start checking for that during my trips. Bummer.

Tournament rules. All you have to do is touch the leader 🤣

Hey, whats up with the click bait?? (See what I did there)😅 I thought you said landed, and how can it be a record without even being put on a handscale? Man the standards have really declined since the days the original Suck My Wake was mudding up the creek waters!!
