I remember your fish.  Can you post a pic?  You had a hell of season that year of large.  That fish may have broke the MD state record of 74.4.  Years back Poppy posted the procedure to get a certified scale on the beach for catch and release but doesn't DNR have certify also?

Ron Evans RIP caught a monster Bluefish one year that was also most likely a state record but he released.  AI has produced some huge catches.

Thanks 

 

Attached is the 22lb 40in. bluefish I caught in 1981.  Thought it was my first Red Drum when I was fighting it.

  

That blue is a tank!!

This was the red pic you asked for, the very next day at almost the same time I had another 1" shorter and 1" less in girth. I've had some good years but 2018 was the best by far.. I forget the total number caught that fall but it was over 35 reds... funny thing is I thought for sure I'd best that this year, especially with 22 reds caught in July but alas nature taught me another lesson lol.
