Sounds like fun. I actually prefer blues myself. Some people don't
like them, but those don't know how to clean them. Properly cleaned
they're delicious. Not properly cleaned and they are quite oily.
I never have caught anything really big in lakes - largest was probably
about a 3-4 lb. northern or walleye up in Minnesota many years ago. I
haven't caught any big lake fish for a very long time. Have pulled some
big ones out of the surf, however. And around Chesapeake Bay we can get
some good sized rockfish.
And my favorite was a 130 lb marlin a few years ago. It's hanging on my
office wall :-)
As for the wife - she can take it for a while, but doesn't have the
patience to sit there all day waiting for a bite.
