We surf fisherman are very used to handling fish with teeth. Not the
teeny weenie ones you got answers for in this thread, but big, bad and
very nasty 16-18 lb. bluefish, which have been known to snap at
virtually anything. Bluefish have very big mouths, and have been known
to take bites out of anything just for spite while lying on the deck or
beach dying.



I am from Maryland and have caught thousands of Blues, none of them are as
hard to handle than a 35-50 pound cat. I have never been bitten by a
Bluefish, but I have been stung the hell out of by a big cat and let me
assure you, it hurts like #@&$#@.
