Patrolled from Erie Basin to Newtown Creek and then Flushing Bay today. More about the patrol another time.

On the way back to Ossining found a giant 8’ Inflatableboat Fish basking on the surface on the East River. I believe this is the largest of several Blow Fish species.

It fought like crazy but I was able to wrestle it aboard.

After gutting and de-boning the once huge fish was much diminished.
