Does anyone know if there is a record for Sea Robins? My nephew caught one on 5/11/02 that had to weigh 4 pounds or more. It had a belly on him like a softball. Of course, it was returned to the water unharmed. I hate when I see people kill any so called trash fish for no reason. Years ago out of montauk we used to fill garbage pails to the top with dogfish while codfishing. Looking back now I feel ashamed for participating in that waste. Throw back any fish you do not wish to keep. They are there for a reason.

you should have a fiberglass mount made - with a propeller on the nose.

Keep throwing those big ones back- after just 5 keeper fluke out of 250 caught last year, I started fileting the birds. They really aren't that bad at all! I think I saw recipes somewhere on this site as well.

eating sea robins

they must taste really - really good.

i always see guys cutting up fluke for bait to catch them.
