I have it on fairly good authority that the pics were taken off of Nomans Island. They were taken by Paul Murray, on the Cookie Too, in the 80s.

Whopper!!!

Um, around here that'd be 'whoppah!'.

It is every bit of that indeed, no matter the pronounciation.

Thanks.

Got a few better pics today. Big thanks to those who worked on the last ones. After this, one more camera to check in. I really hope for those guys that they get at least one decent shot of them and the whole fish, to frame, for posterity and family. Mikey got an 80" fish today. I'm heading out with them Monday, weather gods permitting.

Gees,..look at that mouth.

What would you say that big blues like that feed on most of the time?

Other critters. Seriously, they're opportunistic and their diet I don't think can be answered in a realistic way in a word or two. IME, based on what I've seen and been told by buddies, they'll eat bluefish, striped bass, 4 flavors of herring, mackerel, eels, cod, butterfish, half-beaks, hake, whiting, pogies, haddock, skates, sand sharks (the 765 from last month had two 3 footers in his belly)...
