Saw one there two years ago. Huge scales on it and jumped completely out of the water.

Great! So I'm happy to see that I'm not losing my mind, and my fish IDing skills ain't too bad either

They might be a mutation of the Asian Carp that are infesting the rivers and lakes of the Midwest. Or, they can be a variety of radioactively infected flying fish from the Oyster Creek nuclear plant. Because there are so many pollutants in the NY Bight, the aquatic creatures are being severely affected. We came across a school of Magnum-sized, Mutant, Hudson River Whitefish the other day in Ambrose Channel. They are becoming more prolific in the Harbor because of excessive ejaculation of Viagra by-products into the river system which has increased the urge by these creatures to spawn. Everything flows downstream so be careful to dispose of your trash responsibly.

we would snag one every now and then while trolling umbrellas between the channels.we would also snag a few jigging stripers in the fall.talk about a fight.

Most likely a Sturgeon. You see them jumping all over the place on the west side of Chapel Hill Channel south of the borrow pits. Years back one came very close to jumping into my dad's boat ! What a surprise that was!
