First of all that's a Beast of a Blueline! I've seen one as big as 20 lbs caught by my bud Mike D. and another 20 +/- caught on an electric and a few in the 18 lb mark. If Bluelines grew as big as Goldens, OMG! They do bite definitely and when they feel the hook, they fight from the bottom to the top and on the deck too! lol

The state record is decided from where the boat is docked as for the WR, you could have that but not the state record. Like I still have the NJ record for the Golden but my bud Angelo has the WR. He caught it on our friends boat in Md. but didn't register it for the Md. record just the IGFA. That's how I understand it.... Dennis
