Definitely fond memories here. My first time fishing on a party boat as a kid was for macks out of Sheepshead Bay. I caught 8 that day, brought home in my burlap bag. I remember my Mom cleaning them in the kitchen sink, and she broiled them for dinner that evening.
As for whiting, I’ve actually seen a few more come up on ling trips. All have been small.
