Trolling a mack - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've had green backs live for HOURS on troll and then released them and watched them swim away like nothing ever happend. Side hook or through the roof of the mount out the snout. They're a pretty hardy fish.

To troll them I pin them sideways through the nose.
When I'm dropping a Mack in the water where there's a lot of bait fish I pin it somewhere between its dorsal fin and tail to get it to not only swim down to the depth I want but to also make it look different ( aka an easier target) then the rest of the school.
