For those anglers who have not experienced Tautog fishing, a 10 lb or heavier DOUBLE DIGIT sized specimen is mainly the goal. Considered to be (trophy size) to most tog (aka black fish anglers). In the more Southern states of the tautog's range these fish often grow larger due to warmer waters and a longer growing season, and also less commercial fishing pressure. The States of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, and even Southern NJ, it is more common to occasionally see specimens of 15 lbs or greater. The ultimate goal for most tog anglers is to land a tog of 20 lbs or greater. The present IGFA All Tackle World Record tog is 28 lbs 13 oz and almost 36 inches long caught in Ocean City Maryland aboard the charter boat Fish Bound January of 2015.

These fish are said to exist from as far North as the state of Maine and as far South as North Carolina, and are mainly thought of to be a more cold water/ northern Atlantic coastal species. They are known to be notorious bait thieves, which makes it difficult for many rod & reel anglers to figure out their bite which can be very scratchy and light to very hard. Tog mainly predate upon shell fish and crustaceans like crabs, lobsters, mussels, clams, conch, shrimp, and sand fleas, although they will at times feed on some smaller fin fish species, and other available forage.

Tautog pound for pound are known to be very hard fighters for their size, and because they live in hard bottom structures like wrecks and rock piles, and reefs they often use their homes to their advantage against anglers when hooked, often breaking lines in the hard bottom and causing anglers to snag. Tog are thought of by many to be one of the most challenging and tasty saltwater species to target for all of these reasons. They also happen to be one of the slowest growing species in East Coast Atlantic Ocean waters. There is a large demand and high prices for these fish due to the Asian Live fish market trade that makes them more expensive than 2 lb Maine Lobster most of the year.

Tautog/ Black Fish are one of the larger members of the salt water wrasse family. Scientific name : Tautoga Onitis
