NJ Bluefin
Well I can't compare to cSick Nick but we have some slightly smaller bluefin down NJ way...
I took advantage of the weather window and ran to the Chicken Canyon (75 miles from Sandy Hook) Saturday on my friend's Contender. A little too far for my 20 SF... Ended up 3 for 5 on Bluefin. 2 were 30-40 lbs, the one we kept was 70. Fish hit on ballys, cedar plugs, and spreader bars.

Re: NJ Bluefin
That's the size fish we've been looking for up here!
Nice! Steve

Re: NJ Bluefin
The largest BFT I've ever caught was in the Tongue of the Ocean, and only 17 lbs. I'm impressed.

A "big" 21, but still the smallest out there by 5ft! It was my neighbor's first tuna trip when we caught and he is hooked! Already looking to move up to a 25 Contender. We did 190 round trip, burned 62 gal. 3~ mpg is quite good. Thanks for all the nice replies everyone!
