Fishing for Bluefish

Pomatomus saltatrix
50K logged catches • 507K followers

The voracious bluefish deserves the nicknames "marine piranha" and "chopper" because it swims in large schools through shoals of bait fish, slashing and destroying everything in its path. They will bite anything, including unlucky swimmers. Handle with caution for C&R as it has razor sharp teeth and spines.
