nice blue i'm gonna start weighing fish that i catch. Last week i caught some blues from shore. one was 34 inches, biggest i ever caught.
I usually use bait never was good with lures... probably a pool would be good as a native fish tank, i would defiantly catch my own fish
flounders look cool, especially little ones

Well, if you can afford a 8 - 15 foot long and 6 foot wide tank, why not.
Think about this - would you put the one you caught, in a 100 gallon tank ?

well i'm not sure how this works but have you noticed that southern bluefish don't get nearly as big as northern(ish) bluefish. i reguallary see 12 pound blues in NC but down here in FL you'd be lucky to catch a 20"er. are southern blues always smaller or do they migrate or something?
A pond would be the much better choice or not to have one at all. An aquarium would have to be close to 1000 gallons. These fish travel in schools.

I've had snappers in my tanks before as well as a striper, black fish, sea bass, tog, fluke, sea robins, jack crevalles, bur fish and some other random native species that I've got in my throw net.. Bluefish are fun but the most aggressive are stripers and jacks.. You can keep a bluefish in a tank no probably as long as your running the adequate equipment such as a large protein skimmer (not a cheap one either, it needs to actually work), large sump filled with bio media and you are up on your weekly water changes.
Blues don't grow as fast as you think even if they are fed twice a day. Minimum thank in my opinion is 125-180, and as they get bigger you will need to give them a bigger tank or bring them to an aquarium.. Remember they will die if released back into the wild.

They migrate and they are know to go as far as africa. But on the east coast they go from Maine to NC with some making it to florida and back up to maine in the summer.
