I know that many of you have some great sabiki stories including landing big fish on them.I would be greatly honored if you share these tales with us.

I've got a similar story, fishing some kelp and struggling to find macks near sunrise I finally got into some spanish pretty good. Pulled up my first 5 and saw a big shadow and flash following below. Stopped reeling leaving them about 10 ft down when a nice 30#ish WSB just inhales the top one and takes off. 12 lb test was no match, let it rip out about 100yds of line off before it let go of the bait. Was exciting to say the least! Could not find any more WSB after that, of course.
