Did blackfish season open while I wasn't looking????????????????????????

[Bobby Kojak]

Or if you released all those out of season keepers, how many do you think survived???????????????Just saying...............

[Man Workin]

Yah, not good.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think this post should be taken down. Unless I'm reading the initial post incorrectly, I believe that the post indicates a clear breaking of New Jersey, New York and Delaware State fish and game laws......
This s--t really pisses me off............

Doesn't take long here before someone gets their panties in a bunch and has to interpret information before all the facts are in....he did not say he kept them, just that he boated keeper blackfish. How many were released and survived is another story.

If you target a species, your breaking the LAW.....Period..... Not many blackfish will survive regardless of the water depth they are caught. Plain and simple, Target blackfish and catch your limit and then go for something else. That's what a sportsman would do.........

Blackfish season is open. You are allowed to KEEP/KILL/EAT 1 per angler. There is not a rule against catch and release fishing or labeling fish as "Keepers" so other post readers understand the size of your fish.
Rumster seems to know the laws and I'm sure follows them as he is on the bottom fishing grounds often. Why do you think he and his crew broke any laws?

Why would you also think that the fish would not survive after release? Many blackfish have survived hours in coolers only to flop around when they get fileted. Very hearty fish.
