Sea bass that is. My brother took me out on a private charter last Saturday
out of Belmar NJ. We must have had 800 bass between the ten people on board,
quite a few shorts but everyone came home with a cooler full. One thing I
did notice was the fact that most on board were holding the bass by it's
body when getting the hook out. I lipped everyone and avoided the nasty hand
associated with the full body grab. We also managed a few bluefish in the
10-12 lb range, Oh and the first fish of the day was subsequently ripped off
the hook by a giant bluefish, who was nice enough to leave me the head, It
was just nice hooking into fish all day long.
