There was a thread on this somewhere a few months earlier, someone posted a picture holding one and I think the Verrazano, or some other recognizable landscape was in the background. It wasn’t a monster, maybe a 3.5 or 4 footer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard of guys snagging them while drifting for fluke. For whatever reason I see them breaching mostly in july/august. I've heard stories about catching em on clams, my tinfoil theory is that guys arent doing alot of anchored up bottom fishing with clams in these months (perhaps this is the only time they're around in any decent quantities), also I think we put them near extinction a while back so there probably just arent alot of em around.
