That's awesome fishing - I sure miss that. You have to be tough to be out


there in an open boat in that cold, but it makes you feel so Gorton's Fisherman manly ;). Rockfish generally don't put up much of a fight, but you may get lucky and hook a Bluefin tuna when trolling for them. My son and I did, out by the Tower, and I have heard others have caught Bluefin much closer to shore. I actually think we had one right at Cape Henry once, but I got panicky and broke him off - we'll never know. Still haven't lived that one down.

Also, the really big ones are mean, but you really can't catch them until you get past the 3 mile limit. And you can CATCH them, but you cannot legally KEEP them out there.
