Don, 9 Gamagatsu Live bait--hooked bunch in the 60's, one to 76, and broke off (line break) one much larger.

Greg says bigger to wrap around bigger fish's jaw, so don't some of my other friends who spend more time out there than me.

As long as the smaller hook works, I think better. I hope I don't pay the price some where down the line.
