La Jolla Saturday - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

For the problem of the hook wrapping around
and restabbing the mack, I use a little rubber
stopper. Speciality tackle shops offer them. It's
the only way to go since even a perfectly sized hook
will give you the same problems.

I've never hooked a mack in the mouth, bottom to top.
Because I believe it'll screw with its breathing thus
shortening its life. I either laterally nose hook 'em, on
the hook goes thru the top back strap.
