Have been huge in the Bahamas as well....
Tiny had a wheel barrel full the other day with one that went 66lbs!!! HUGE! another bull in the pile was over 50...
Well we went out on a sea trial, and after we solved the problem that we were having we thought about running out to the rip and troll around for an hour and see what we could catch. It was only rick and i on the boat, i pulled out some left over rigged baits that i have had saved if the bite got hot and i was running low on baits or the bone heads were eating me up bad. we set out 4 rods and three teasers one on each side and one down the center. we caught the fish in the pic first, it put up a good fight and came to the boat pretty quick the only challenge was reeling in the fish and gaffing him with the other hand since there was only rick and i on the boat. After i got the gaff in him and put the rod down he came over the side and thank god he did not go ape shit rick came off the bridge and opened the box up and he went right in easy. We set back out caught one more around 15lbs , then we slide inshore a bit and went 2 for 2 on sails. all and all it was a great and fun trip, first trip in a while where we could relax and have fun and not put out 2 dredges and fish for about two hrs.
The tackle i am using down here our tld20A , light custom black fin rod 6/0 mustad hooks and 50lb leader.
Bill thanks again for those chuggers they are are working great, i am using them as hook baits and teasers our hook up ratio also has been great with them. i have been rigging them 2 drifferent ways with mono and wax. we have had alot of luck on pink and blue and white.
