LJ 12-10 Late Post
Launched around 5:15am to ankle high surf. Made a few greenbacks on the bottom by tipping the sabiki with squid. I tipped my blue and chrome tady 4/0 (glow back) with a whole squid and ended up hooking about a 10 inch mackerel on it. I sent it back down 120 feet and gave it 2 cranks up after hitting the bottom. 15 minutes later it got slammed and I was on. Unfortunately I pulled the hook 10 minutes into the fight. This is the third fish I have hooked on a deep iron with a treble hook that I have lost. From now on I am all for single hooks...
Heart broken, I kept on fishing. I caught about an 8 inch sardine on the sabiki and sent him down on an 8oz. butterfly jig (with two single hooks on it). I watched the tip of my rod as the bait nervously twitched and was suddenly thumped hard. Another thump followed and then the line started peeling. After a couple of seconds the line stopped and the fish was gone. I instantly grabbed the rod and started jigging it. Seconds later I was on again! After a 20 min. fight I brought this 30.4 lb beauty up. He puked up about 15 squid...

Nice winter time toad!
 Also nice to hear that he puked up some squid. With no real winter weather to speak of (except today) I was wondering if there was going to be any wintertime bite. I have also lost many fish on the yo yo iron. I was wondering if it was because of the treble???

Why does the treble hook pop off compared to a single? |

treble vs siwash hook on jig
imo...
pros of treble: more likely to hook up pros of siwash: easier to release unwanted fish, less likely to come unbuttoned, easier to squid tip (and keep action of jig), allowed for igfa records (not that I have any or realistically hope for any, but still) i use both depending

Don't know if it helps but I replace the standard treble with a larger heavier duty model.

TIGHT! It definitely looked fishy for a bit. And all I got to pull on was a frickin' T.
 Congrats Morgan.

Now I can associate you with more than a commercial where you are pulling on your rod. Hallelujah!!!
