It was like a 9th inning rally out there as the people were screaming and cheering as gaffs were flying and blues were leaping out of the water. They were in an especially acrobatic mood as the many we hooked put on quite an aerial show as well. When each of the boats sound three whistles, the fares cheered loudly once more as if to say it was a successful day. It was quite a spectacle and nice to see so many people having a blast. Lets count our blessings that we have bluefish to put a bend in the rod when nothing else will sometimes. I know many of us miss them when they put on the disapearing act that they do in certain years.
