All the big fish I've hooked by a sabiki are all very vivid in my mind for some reason. Maybe its because of the sinking feeling I got each time that told me I had no chance

Killer fish, bitchin story

Whats up with the 8 oz torpedo trying to hit the bait in the head and stun them

Never landed any sabiki fish.........amazing catch!

I am sure that it does not compare to hooking a WSB on a Sabiki but it gets a little interesting when a school of bonito zeros in on your bait setup.

I had three on at one time once. Imagine a bunch of slimy two pound fish flopping around the yak while the sabiki hooks that did not have fish on them are flying all over the place trying to find a place on your body to sink into.

No fun.
