I usually give it a solid 5 missisippis but should have gone to 10 for a bait that size. It was my last and by a few inches largest mac.

It was definitely a Yellowtail. I believe that sometimes they just want to be cruel and crush baits for sport without intending to eat them. They are hard to catch when they are doing that.
