    7 Pounder on a whole green crab. I was fishing along the pilings in a Marina near Jamaica Bay, about 20 years ago. I caught many 4 and 5 pounders. It's a great spot, but impossiable to gain access now.

    11lbs, off a rocky part of Staten Island in the spring, about 1/4 mile offshore. I find the bigger ones I got have been in the springtime and are mixed in when we clam for bass. A 7 lb tog is a nice fish from shore. There are some great blackfish spots in the Port Elizabeth/Port Newark area that were made inaccessible after 9/11. It's crazy how we are so keyed in on offshore snags when some of the biggest blackfish can be found right under our noses.

    My largest was an 11.8 pound beauty I caught in 2008 aboard the Viking Starship on one of their Blackfish Haven trips.
