I always heard blues were pretty bad ass. When I moved to the east coast I found they were way worse than I ever thought they could be. Honey Badgers of the sea. Bluefish just don't give a shit. I did fish samples in the local, Outer Banks, fish buying houses and it was fairly common to inspect a catch of croaker or flounder and find 10-20% of the catch had chunks missing from blues attacking them in the nets. You also find blues with other blue fish bites out of them. I cleaned a blue fish and found a head, a body, and a tail in it's stomach. No big deal right? Except all 3 pieces were from different species of fish. There is a big commercial fishery for them so some body must eat them. Plastics and gulps work great back there but thanks to the blues I compleatly stopped using plastics. I used live bait and super cheap hooks. The reds, trout, and flounder would stay hooked and the blues would bite off. Mike
