yea right, 50 pound line to catch the 14" fish that were caught most of the summer when the bigger blues just didnt come in .

many guys downsized their tackle and KEPT fishing just to be out there, and had fun using lighter stuff because the fish were so small .

The way bluefishing was this spring and summer boats should have been thankful guys even fished,
