Large numbers of menhaden flood into Sippican Harbor each fall to avoid attacks from fierce and aggressive blue fish. Unfortunately, their strategy to survive violent blue fish attacks, swimming in large, concentrated balls, makes them hugely vulnerable to another predator ... humans. Fishermen cast lines into the ball attempting to foul hook individuals, which they then use as bait for blue fish. Commercial fishermen toss cast nets atop the balls and harvest menhaden for bait fish. One way or the other, the blue fish seem to win.
