NJ State Record Cunner Caught on May 26th.

I caught my first cunners while fishing with a friend from the rocks of Manasquan Inlet, about 1972. My father took us there. He didn't fish, but it was nice of him. Cunners are also known as bergals.

John Zema of Laurence Harbor reeled in the new state record Cunner on May 26. The fish weighed in at 3 pounds, 8.8 ounces eclipsing the previous state record by 6.4 ounces. It measured 18.5” in length and had a girth of 13”.

John was using a conventional rod and reel with 50 pound braided line off the boat Voyager, captained by Denis Katliarov. A clam served as the bait.
