Blue fish On the Miss Barnegat Light

Nice fish, what did it weigh? My Dad used to sail with Capt John on his Dry Tortuga trips when the boat went down to Florida for the winter. They caught some very nice fish down there. John Larsen was one of the best captains on the Jersey shore.

I don't know what he weighed, just a balance to decide the biggest. We ate him mariated in Italiian dressing.
