Bluefish have always been one of the Rodney Dangerfields of sportfishing, they get no respect.
Today most bluefish are released. Unfortunately, it seems that the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Mid-Atlantic Council) and Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) now want to penalize bluefish anglers for adopting that conservation ethic.

The Bluefish is still on my list of fishes to catch. I heard they are super strong fighters and dont give up very easily. I have to make a trip t the Atlantic one day and try my luck at catching them.
