  1. We will try for another, we are stupid like that.... The good news is we were back at the dock by 10am and then the slicing and dicing took another hour and a half or so.lots of 1 gallon zip locks bags. Later we portioned them into 2 pack foodsavers. Everything bagel crusted ready to sear later
  2. It painted 3 times, saw the boat and ran out more line. The are one tough fish especially compared to stripers.
  3. FIFY Thank you for the correction. Been seeing them for the past 3 weeks and nobody was catching them. We were just thrilled to bring it on board.
  4. Yes, It's a Big Eye Bluefin Tuna.
  5. For 2 weeks we and every other offshore fisherman have seen them all around us. Getting them on a hook seemed elusive and impossible. That's why they are called Ghost Fish. Until Friday 8:30 a.m. 68" 125 pounds 1 hour and 10 minutes to get him onboard. There is no way, a single fisherman could boat one of these fighters. MY 37 yo SIL, was physically stronger than me to do it. I became the deck hand clearing 5 lines in water so it could tangle in them, kept him hydrated and took over the pole when we had him up to the boat. we opened the side door, he gaffed him and it took 2 of us to pull him on the deck. He went back out with 3 of his buddies Saturday a.m. and once again there was nothing but Ghost Fish.

  7. Don't expect them to protect you now, either. they have no legal or moral obligation under the law.
  8. New Jersey gun permit requests skyrocket statewide since start of Israel-Hamas war Joe Strupp Asbury Park Press 0:23 1:03 LAKEWOOD – Statewide requests for gun permits increased nearly 70 percent in the month following the start of the Israel-Hamas war, according to state data provided to the Asbury Park Press. The New Jersey State Police received 21,822 online firearm permit requests between Oct. 7, 2023 — the first day of the war in the Middle East — and Nov. 7, 2023, according to Toms River Police Captain Christopher Anderson. That is an increase of 69% compared to the same period last year when 12,903 applications were received, he said, citing data he obtained through the state police. More:Platkin says federal stay 'vindicates' NJ gun reform efforts. Here's why “The October 7th terrorist attacks in Israel contributed to another recent surge,” Anderson said via email. “The numbers are still red hot compared to ‘normal years.’” Toms River saw 583 online requests for firearm identification cards, permits to purchase handguns, or other administrative requests during the first month following the war’s launch, up from 220 during the same period in 2022, Anderson said. “We’re getting slammed,” Toms River Police Chief Mitchell A. Little said via email. Further north in Middletown in Monmouth County, the story is the same, according to Lt. John Soltysik of the Middletown Police Department. He reported 196 firearm permit requests in October and 144 in November, up from the usual average of 80 or 90 per month. “We have definitely had an increase in numbers, it started in October,” he said. The State Attorney General’s Office declined to comment on the permit request increase, while the New Jersey State Police did not respond to a request for comment. Lakewood, which has the largest Orthodox population in the state, also reported an increase, according to Lakewood Police Chief Gregory Meyer. “Ever since Israel was attacked we have seen a dramatic increase in gun permit applications as well as NJ concealed carry permits,” Meyer said via email, declining to offer specific data. “I think people saw what happened to unarmed citizens living in Israel and have decided to arm themselves for home and self-protection.” We Shoot, a gun range store in Lakewood, reported a sales increase in recent weeks as well, according to co-owner Tony Altieri. “There is definitely a big increase, and a lot of reasons,” he said in an interview. “One is the war in the Middle East.” But he also pointed to legal changes dating back to 2022 when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against a New York law that had restricted concealed carry permits to those showing a special need. More:NJ poised to pass sweeping new gun laws — which will likely end up in court. Here's why The court ruled that such limitations violated the Second Amendment. In late 2022, however, Gov. Phil Murphy signed legislation that barred the possession of concealed weapons in certain public locations such as bars, beaches and public libraries in New Jersey. Gun rights groups filed suit to block the legislation, portions of which have remained in place while an appeal is underway. “People are afraid they will not be able to (purchase guns) in the future, people wanting to arm themselves and the legal concealed carry permits,” Altieri said. Alexander Roubian, president and managing editor the New Jersey Second Amendment Society, said the increase is not surprising as people feel a need to protect themselves. “People are waking up to the reality that the government has no legal obligation to protect you and you are your own first responder and you are responsible for protecting and defending your own life and loved ones,” he said. But others, such as Thurman Barnes, assistant director of the New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center at Rutgers University, offered caution. More:This new federal court ruling essentially halts NJ's concealed weapons carry restrictions “I don’t know that it is something that can be considered good,” he said about the increased permit requests. “In the past, surges have occurred when people felt like they were less likely to purchase in the future. In this case, it is certainly possible that people are applying for permits because they feel threatened. We have seen this before. We saw a surge during the pandemic.” Asked about the impact of more guns in the state, Barnes said, “There are some links that can be made to more guns and the likelihood of more violence. We are not here to advocate against guns, they are here to stay. We encourage people to secure their firearm safely and securely.” Joe Strupp is an award-winning journalist with 30 years’ experience who covers education and several local communities for APP.com and the Asbury Park Press.

  9. FELONY CHARGE FILED AGAINST GOV. CHRISTIE’S NIECE FOR VIOLENT PLANE MELTDOWN Erin VogtPublished: December 6, 2023 Spirit Airlines plane (Spirit Airlines) One of Chris Christie’s relatives has been hit with a felony charge a year after being accused of a violent, drunken meltdown on an airplane last Thanksgiving. Shannon Epstein — a niece of the former Governor turned two-time presidential hopeful — was restrained and arrested in Louisiana after attacking sheriff’s officers aboard the Spirit airline flight bound for New Jersey. Epstein was charged on Monday with resisting police by force or violence and two misdemeanor counts of disturbing the peace by public intoxication, according to NOLA.com. Police in Jefferson Parish County previously said that Epstein appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, as she slurred her words. Former Gov.

The Christies also share four children of their own. Accused family of smuggling drugs The outburst unfolded around 6 a.m. on Nov. 24, 2022, aboard a Spirit Airlines flight from New Orleans to New Jersey. Epstein accused a Latino family among fellow passengers of "smuggling cocaine,” at which point the plane began to taxi back to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, in order to remove her, as first reported by the New Orleans Advocate.

  11. Manchester man sentenced to 20 years for drug, weapons Jenna Calderón Asbury Park Press USA TODAY NETWORK – NEW JERSEY TRENTON – A Manchester man was sentenced Monday to 20 years in prison for drug trafficking and weapon possession, U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger announced. Dyshawn Moss, 42, was convicted on October 27 on five charges, including possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, possession with intent to distribute heroin, possession with intent to distribute cocaine, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, Sellinger said.

In addition to the prison term, Moss was sentenced to 10 years of supervised release, Sellinger said https://asburyparkpress-nj.newsmemory.com/?token=a5573e6e4bb3349387ab145ccb71116a&cnum=56669cfa-0fdc-e311-91c7-90b11c341ce0&fod=1111111STD-0&selDate=20231201&licenseType=paid_subscriber&for-guid=4daba073-fd34-43b2-ad88-5f7ae8561c2b&utm_source=asburyparkpress-dailybriefing-strada&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dailybriefing-headline-stack&utm_term=Header+Nav&utm_content=papp-asburypark-nletter65
  12. The same exact effect. Bruen IS about self defense. This changed everything not just firearms
  13. The Bruen Decision changed EVERYTHING regarding Knives.
  14. I came across an interesting article for your reading: What is your opinion on stores that have a no weapons allowed sign on the door? In my state, it doesn't carry the force of law. So I ignore them. IF they discover I'm armed, they can ask me to leave, and I will. If I refuse to leave they can call the police and I would be charged with trespassing. After the shooting in Aurora at the movie theater, I made the decision to remain armed, even in posted places, for my own safety and not be rendered defenseless. Since the posting businesses do not offer any guarantee to my safety, yet want me defenseless, they can go fuck themselves. Now if they offer me a personal, armed guard while I shop or watch a movie, then I'll consider being unarmed. IMHO there should be a stipulation to those no weapons signs. If a place requires you be defenseless THEY MUST ASSUME LIABILITY for your protection. Every. Single. Customer. Or. Patron. Period. This gets back to these people squealing “compromise” all the time. Hiring security for thousands of patrons every day would bankrupt them. Lawsuits from families who lost loved ones would bankrupt them. And yet they WANT their customers to be victims. If only 25% of their clients were armed, most of these mass shootings would end in seconds, and the body counts would be greatly reduced. We've seen the stories where armed citizens stopped the threat long before the police arrived. Sometimes before the 911 call was completed. Remember this little fucktard?? Opened fire in a food court at the mall. And a young man who had just gotten his carry license months earlier, not a lifelong shooter like me, yeeted this piece of shit from about 40yds, across the food court and stopped the threat. MSM refused to run the story, because it didn't fit the narrative. Armed good guy, stopped armed bad guy. How many lives were saved that day? The good guy had a semiautomatic pistol with 15 rds. So it also went against the magazine ban bullshit that seeks to limit a person to 10 rds.
  15. Shouldn't Gavin be facing the other direction?
