When reeling in a fish those blues would hit it and you would get nuttin but the head.
Funny you mention that... I was reeling in about a 10" porgy when I had what felt like a huge run and then dead weight... I get the fish up and 2/3 of it was missing with a perfect mouth shape of a 12 pound bluefish missing! The blue had cut it just in half. Insane!
I was fishing in the Long Island Sound out of Port Jefferson in the Middle Grounds area of the Sound. A couple of stripers were caught, all were too short to keep... A few other trashfish species were caught as well.
Bluefish have a very wide range. They are found in the east and west Atlantic, the Mediterranean, parts of the Indian and Pacific ocean. My largest bluefish is 19 pounds. My dad caught one that was 26. He has a pic of it and he is holding it by the tail kneeling with the fishes nose on the ground and me as a 3 year old standing next to it. The fish was longer than I was tall!
