M.Hittler 0 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Awesome Hammer.They go hard on the right tackle and they run amok at boat side and can be a handful if not tired out.Killer fish and a cracker size aswell.Did u get weight?.Did u release or you going to eat.I release the ones I get but apparently a tasty fish.About time a good thread was put up.Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
