Yep , what BM said.

One year , I would guess it was about 1987 or so , the weekend after Thanksgiving along a RI beach , we caught truly big bluefish.

I usually throw bluefish back but kept a couple that day. We gutted them on the beach and took home the fish. At home , after gutting , they weighed in at 22 to 23 pounds.

This wasn't a couple of big one out of many small ones . They were all about the same size and it lasted the whole weekend like that.

I cant imagine.. occasionaly one would break and all you would hear was a very loud snapping sound as they were chomping bait fish.

had i kept one i would be winning my club's bluefish shore division trophy, but I hate them so much i couldnt be bothered

I always wondered why they were so big but especially puzzling was why so late in the year. Last few days of November!

We used to hit them at South Cape Beach almost to Thanksgiving.

One year it snowed on Veteran's Day weekend while we were on the Vineyard, and we had monster blues at Menemsha the day after the storm.
