Had an epic evening on the lower CT River catching 15 or so bluefish up to 32”. These fish have to be up there as pound for pound hardest fighting. They never quit and seem to want to rip you apart, limb by limb! Took one home for grilling two ways tomorrow night.
32” pull your kayak around? They fight like fish twice their size. Went blues fishing with 10 guys once. We caught 110 of them. Just dropped a heavily weighted lure to the bottom. Looked like lead with a hook. Crank it in fast and bam!

I just saw the final results. A guy from Long island won with a 20.18 pounder, weighed in at 4:33 pm, today. He knocked out the guy from Niantic with a 15.18 pounder. 
I know, crazy! And it seems there actually isn’t a kayak category so I don’t feel bad.

Steve one last thing if you haven’t already done this when you keep blues. 🩸 bleed them as soon as you can.
This keeps the flesh from getting gamey. Just cut him deep under the gills. Tight MINDS!!!!
