It Doesn't Get Much Better Than This....

That is a beast! Thanks for the great report. Us lure guys want to know what she ate. I see the bright lure in the pics, so I know it was a lure-fish. Details please........lure, color, position, single or double hook rig? Did she switch lures or come in fixated on this one? Hep a brutha out with some dope.

She came up and demolished our favorite Bomboy running on the left short rigger, 3rd wake. I'm not sure what the lure is called but it's the tube with the slant face and the red eyes in the green/yellow head. Bomboy gave this lure to me a few years back at the Miami boat show and it's accounted for a tremendous amount of marlin over the years for us. Rigged with a single Roddy Hays hook, stiff rig. Unfortunately a blue a few days later ate the same lure and managed to snap us off so we lost it. That thing was a killer though and i need to get a few more!

That is the Bomboy One-on-One. Have you had a chance to put the Bomboy Large bullet, or the Mini-G in the water? I am pretty sure you will like the results. Let's see about getting you another One-on-One too. I sure hate it when a hot lure leaves me in favor of a 1,000-fathom swim to the bottom.

This is a picture of the Bomboy One-on-One. It is a large tube lure. This is my only one and it is from my personal collection. Josh, can you confirm this is the lure that got the beast?

One thing I have been pondering is how certain lure head shapes cycle in and out of phases where they are the hot lure shape. I have seen this from feedback from customers from all over the tropical and sub-tropical globe. Have you seen this behavior too?

After looking at Bomboy's website i'm pretty sure that the lure was a Scarface, green over clear head, red eyes, and green, orange, and yellow skirt. That lure caught a lot of fish for us this year before it went to Davy Jones....

Josh,

That actually makes more sense, since the Scarface is an awesome short-corner lure, and the One-on-One is more of a long-corner, short-rigger lure.

This Scarface in Mean Joe Green is my favorite Baja short-corner lure/color.

Bomboy says this is his all-time big-fish producer. He has personally landed 14 over 700 on this lure.

Dat's da one! Different coloration though, but that's the head for sure.
