believe it or not,I got the plug out and the fish swam away fast/strong.
the center hooks treble had only one of it's 3 in the back of the roof of it's mouth,the single 5/0 tail hook was through the throat tissue where it looks like an accordion.
I took my very long nosed pliers and it all worked out which was a good thing,I didn't want to kill the fish,hope it made out ok.

I have to say some of those bluefish are impressive. It looks like you are catching them in the day too? Could I ask if it's a dawn/dusk thing or do you catch them at other times? In Jersey whenever we get a bluefish bite it never seems to last that long maybe 30 minutes to an hour. Awesome fish thanks for sharing.
well,around here in the rivers at least they seem to be triggered to the bite by the transition from dark to light.
this action day started at around 6:15 am,then it opened up a bit later when it got lighter out,it was a very overcast day that day.
it was a good am that day,the next morning I only got 1 fish and had several smashes.

Nice "catching" RP. Send some of them down our way.
NICE!!!!! Wish we had some of them here right now. Congrats they look well fed and they slammed your lure anyway. Great catch!
