The digital image on the right is a shot taken of George Bright (NJ) after noon on the Bunny Clark extreme day trip on the last day of June 2025. On that trip we were getting plagued by dogfish wherever we went. Trying to get away from the dogfish, I kept trying deeper and deeper spots to fish. Finally, I found a depth that was free of dogfish but much harder to fish. But in this deeper water, off an edge, we did get a couple of special fish, both caught by George. The first was a 17.5 pound cod. At the time of this writing (July 1, 2025) that cod is our second largest cod of the fishing season. It's also his largest cod. As we drifted a bit deeper, he caught the fish seen on the right, an 18.5 pound Maine state trophy cusk. This is, by far, the Bunny Clark's largest cusk of the season, the state's largest (angled) cusk this year and his largest cusk by far. And the fillets coming off this fish were as clean and beautiful as you would expect from any perfect Atlantic ocean fish and certainly cleaner than the cusk found in shallow water! I felt very fortunate to have an angler catch such a big cusk so close to home. Eventually, we worked back up into shallower and shallower water and further north and northeast. My thinking was that maybe the dogfish were less further to the north. Either I wasn't far enough north to make a difference or there were dogfish everywhere. Because once I got back up into the shallower water where all the bait and most fish were, the dogfish were thick seven miles from where we started. And when the dogfish are ravenous, they get to the hook much faster than the desired species. Over the years I have spent a lot of time chasing after the bigger cusk. We were lucky enough to have captured two International Game Fish Association all-tackle world records for cusk, only to lose both world records within ten days on both by two fish caught out of Norway. We also had a 36 pound cusk that could have been a world record and a world record for much longer had we paid closer attention to the manner in which the hooks were placed on the line. There are specific regulations to guard against "gang hooking" or "snagging" fish, even though, in our case, that wasn't why the fish was boated. But it's all in the chase and the occasional time that you get rewarded by something inspiring. Special fish like George's are the kind of fish we like to see on caught on the Bunny Clark .
