I took this picture on the right during the May 7, 2026 offshore marathon trip. The digital image shows Mark Fraher (CT) holding up his 7 pound Maine state trophy haddock which he caught that day. [In Maine, the minimum acceptance weight for a haddock to become a trophy is 7 pounds.] At the time, it was the Bunny Clark's second trophy haddock of the season. Later on that day a 7.5 pound trophy haddock was caught and another haddock of 6.9 pounds was also boated, three of the top four largest haddock of the Bunny Clark season to date. We haven't seen many big haddock this season. It's starting off to be a very different season. We have been catching a lot of haddock. There have been some days where we have caught the whole boat's collective bag limit. The slowest day netted us half the boat's collective bag limit (15 X the number of people aboard). But on every trip this season several anglers have always caught fifteen legal haddock or more. This is the first year in five years that the haddock we have been catching have been mostly resident haddock or those haddock that have over-wintered on the grounds we have been fishing. These are a better tasting fish than the new, mostly spawning (or spawned out), fish we have seen during the previous springs. But they are also smaller. So we haven't seen the trophy haddock that we enjoyed seeing before this year. The water temperature is so much colder than it has been in so many years. Before we started fishing I had told everyone that I believed the haddock were going to spawn offshore, that we wouldn't see the new fish on the grounds we most frequent. I'm not sure that this is quite true. So are the new/spawning fish late? Haddock are so much different than cod as it concerns their reproductive habits. Cod go to specific areas to spawn whereas haddock can spawn anywhere. This makes chasing haddock so much more fun. This because when you come across a school of new haddock on the machine, they show up like a sore thumb. Never has this been more true than this season. The party/charter boats to the south of us are now starting to pick up haddock on a regular basis. Before, they were having trouble seeing any haddock. Is this because the water temperature is finally warming and the fish are sensitive to this? Or is this a population shift dependant of some other environmental or biological factor? Also, will we now start to see the bigger spawning haddock show up in our fishery? Is Mark's fish the beginning of a wave of bigger haddock? It sure is fun chasing them, knowing that the chances are good that, at some point during the day, you will run into a big school. This is what killed the population to begin with from 1984 until 1994; there were no regulations to curb the harvest of haddock by commercial fishing trawlers. The schools are so easy to see on a sounding machine and so much off the bottom, they were an easy target to catch. Since the haddock have come back, I'm hoping it stays that way so the recreational angler can enjoy fishing for them as well. I'm very excited to see how this season pans out. Special fish like Mark's are the kind of fish we like to see on caught on the Bunny Clark.
