You sure got that right, the Capt of the James Joseph is a real loose cannon. But he really knows his blackfish, and he has some fantastic numbers. The average Blackfish will weigh between 3-6 lbs on a good day. With some real good whitechins up to 10-12 lbs.
If you want to see some real good Blackfishing, try going on the first 1-3 nomans land trips made by the Viking Starship in Montauk. Last year we had some fantastic trips for fish up to 12-13 lbs.

Last year the first 3-4 trips that the viking starship made to Nomans land, were fantastic. Almost everyone on board limited out with blackfish, most fish landed were in the 4-8 lb class, with many, many fish landed in the 7-12 lb class. I say landed because after the first trip most of us switched to 50lb test, because we were busting off 6-10 big fish each trip. On the first trip the Capt, (Steven) busted off 7-9 big fish, which caused him to switch from 40lb test, to 50 lb test. I just hope that this year is as good as last year was. I will be on their first trip which will be on friday Nov 2. My name is John.
