Are you sayin that the fluke already had a 50 year old metal tag in it?
No, in NJ, we call some salt water fishing lures metals. My lure was very old.

Completed back to back doubleheaders today. Went fishing 🎣 in Manasquan Inlet this afternoon on a hot, sunny day with little wind and incoming tide during the new moon 🌑 flood tide. Caught, tagged and released a 19” 2.75 lb fluke with a 50 year old metal. Only had one hit in 100 minutes of casting. Got weeds on nearly every cast. Lots of boats, fishermen, beach people and surfers 🏄♂️ were nearby. Brant were on Debbie’s Creek. Caught nothing in 4 of 7 trips to the inlet this year. Went carping in the 74 degree Millstone River on the south shore in West Windsor, NJ, this evening to complete back to back doubleheaders. A strong south wind blew away the mosquitoes 🦟 and made it feel cool in the shade. Threw out corn for chum, then caught nothing while ultralight jigging. Landed a 24” 6.5 lb milt leaking, spawn ready common carp with canned whole kernel corn on 12 lb test line. Caught 9 carp that weighed 64.5 lbs this year.

Another great photo of your fishing buddy bands. Good to see there’s some bigger blues moving in.
My smallest bluefish this year was 28” 8 lb.

https://youtube.com/shorts/nWyI9oQ1qCo?si=opOILWxPXolKv9vD Went fishing 🎣 in Manasquan Inlet this afternoon on a warm, cloudy day with a light east wind and incoming tide. Caught, tagged and released a 28” 8 lb bluefish on a very old #2 Japanese stainless steel metal in two hours of casting. Took a long time to reel in with light line in the swift current. Good thing for me that other fishermen were not nearby. After another fisherman arrived and started fishing 🎣 to my right, I left in order to go carping. It’s nearly impossible for me to land a big fish with light line in swift current with other fishermen nearby. Caught 2 white perch and a largemouth bass with a 1/32 oz twister tail jig on 2 lb test line in 68 degree Carnegie Lake this evening. Caught nothing with canned whole kernel corn. Mosquitoes 🦟 were biting. The resident great blue heron tried to catch my perch as I reeled them in near the shore. Made a video of the heron flying in to my spot.
