Was fishing the tip of the hook Sunday morning and the USS Bataan came steaming into the naval pier under NJ State Police escort. Amazing sight to see such a huge naval vessel up close and personal. Just for perspective, the Fisherman is 72 foot long. So at 840 feet, the Bataan is over 10X bigger!

Fishing was just OK. Not many shorts and a few really nice fish. I ended up with 4 in the box and this was my nicest one. All keepers were over 4 pounds though, so "quality not quantity" would describe the fishing at the hook. As usual, bucktails outfished bait over 2 to 1.
