Finally hooked up with a big bluefish tonight. Gave a good fight. I caught it off a black and purple redfin after it got dark. It measured to 31 inches long, and I'm guessing about 10 pounds in weight.

Nice gator!
A 31" blue this time of year vs the 36" blue I caught in early June would be about the same weight due to difference in girth. |

Probably, they're probably feeding more this time of year. |

Nice fish. If you don't have spiked wading boots, get yourself some strap on spikes. I like the original Stabilicers to fit over my lug boots and other shoes. Last time night fishing I hooked a striper and had to take off down a jetty in pitch black. My buddy tried to film, and all he got was a bobbing lamp and sparks flying as I went rock hopping.

Nice blue!Smart color choice too.(blurple or all black)
Lucky you didn't loose your pole and go for a night swim.

Thanks everyone!
I just ate the fish for dinner. Even though it was pretty oily, it was pretty good. |
