That fish is a SOLID 30 inches or more. It extends from the tip of his head to his belt line

Fifties / sixties era we caught many baseball bat whiting in sight of Ambrose lightship , not sure hoe they would measure up to this one but had too be close !
Like Andy mentioned literally fill ur lap sacks which were original PB fish coolers with em! So thick at times could catch em' on strips of red flannel cutike strips of squid. !!:cool:

Frost Fish.

Used to be so thick by the Long Branch Pier with all the lights, they got washed up on the beach by the thousands.

Pier fishing was great -fished well into dark, took a break inside with a couple beers, game of pool, and then back outside for the midnight shift.
