I had to do it... found a slower than average day, so I left early and rushed to Amistad to see if anybody might be hungry Several smaller fish were eager to play at the first spot so I moved to the next deeper drop to see if there might be a lazy Gal in her recliner... SHE WAS She ate a 1oz Moaner Predator jig and Lobster and stayed deep for a good while. The water was gin clear and as she got a bit closer I could see her mouth wide open doing her best to throw the jig even while she was 10 ft below the surface. I could see that the jig was firmly in the top of her mouth so I just kept steady pressure on her until she gave up the battle then eased her up into my hand.

I'll often switch to the Predator jig when I want a slightly longer shank hook for longer presentation trailers. It works well in many of the jagged rocks I target. The meaty bulge in this gals tail let me know that she has fed well over the Summer and should be in great shape for next Spring.

I use 25lb Vicious Pro Elite Fluoro line for exceptionaly clear conditions, it's super stought and has less stretch for good hook sets.

Very nice Big O.

That's a beauty!

Gawd that's a beast. What'd it weigh?

Outstanding!

When I have a Go Pro mounted on the windshield, I don't need assistance but FOR SURE, I'd rather have a fishing partner and NOT just for taking pictures

For those who asked about weight, I didn't weigh and rarely do, especially in the Summer months, unless it's for someone else or I think that the fish is a Special situation. Plus, you know how some gals are finicky about stepping on the scales
