Tried that... Those old dogs are pretty smart, they don't go after trap rigged baits.

They usually move on to the next victim pretty quick and I have found new hali holes this way

I hear there were some WSB heads landed fairly recently in LJ thanks to Makos.

Not in So Cal... but in NZ the problem is not catching per se... it is getting the damn kingfish (yt) to the boat safely... Jim Sammon's video is a great example... watch those fingers and toes when in NZ!!!

i was on an overnight outta SD when i was 14....catching bluefin and albacore. A few fish came in with pieces missing when suddenly one dude bringing in a fish has his line go pretty slack. As we see the head of his tuna approaching the boat we realize there is a make about 6-7 feet long. Before i knew it the captain is gaffing this freeswimming mako along iwth the help of two deckies and hours later we were enjoying mako steaks for dinner on the ride home.
