The picture on the right (taken by Captain Ian Keniston) is a digital image of Bev Branch (TX) holding her 17 pound Maine state trophy wolffish. This fish was caught on the Bunny Clark full day trip of August 15, 2008. It is the first trophy wolffish that has been caught on the Bunny Clark this year. The second largest wolffish of the season, to date, was caught by Ed Martin (ME) on June 18, 2008. It weighed 14 pounds, a pound shy of the minimum acceptance weight for a trophy (for that species) in Maine. The last trophy wolffish that was landed on the Bunny Clark was another of 17 pounds caught by Al Hanson (MA) on October 2, 2007. That wolffish was the largest wolffish caught last season and the only Maine state trophy wolffish caught on the Bunny Clark that year! Needless to say, there are many fewer wolffish caught now than were caught in the past. It used to be that trophy wolffish were fairly common. Not anymore. The cause for the decline might be overfishing in general but I think the advent of herring for lobster bait a few years ago probably helped the most in decreasing wolffish landings. No fishery (including the party/charter industry) has really helped in this regard. The wolffish is an interesting fish primarily because it's main diet consists of various shellfish including lobsters, sea urchins and large bivalves (clams, scallops & other pelecypods). It's teeth and musculature around the jaws have evolved making them very good at crushing these animals, shells and all, and passing them through their bodies. Many a finger has been broken around these animals and many a finger nail has been taken off (mine included) working around these fish. They love to live inside under-water caves, wrecks and open structure and are called rock eels in California for this reason. They are called wolffish or catfish locally because the teeth look similar to those found in our furry mammal friends. They have never been a common catch and always insight a good response from anglers when one comes aboard. Special fish like Bev's are the kind of fish we like to see caught on the Bunny Clark .
