I grew up caching Whiting off a few choice beaches in NJ, mind you I'm only 38 years old. They were a blast to catch and I believe my father and I used to call the bigger ones BATS as in baseball bats. All I remember is some good times catching these fish off the beach in the mid 80's and enjoying a great meal. One of our family staples at Yankee game was bringing a 2 pack of smoked Whiting to the game to snack on with some pretzels. Great memories! They'll be whipped out in no time the way things are going now! Another great memory, another huge loss!!!
