Dude! nice collection of fish there, did the huge Butt and the sea bass give you a work out?

[Ray Lopez]

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a guy post up with an itty bitty rod
And a round fish in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough
'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the sea he's fishing
I'm hooked and I can't stop wishing
Oh baby, I wanna fish with you
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got makes me so horny



lol awesome butt dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[supasportkid]

Hey CrabMan, The bait was live 5-6" sardines, water temp was 67 deg.
The set-up for this day was a sliding rig made with barrel swivels and a short section of line to hang the weight from and a trap hook set-up consisting of a #2/0 octopus type hook and a #4 bronze treble hook.
15-20lb. test p-line
You snell the octopus hook on and tie the treble to the tag end. I like using a palomar knot on the treble because it's easier to determine where the hook is going to end up at.
Here's the set-up

And here's the snelling tool that makes it easier

With this set-up, you can just about fish it in gear as opposed to "letting them eat it"
This day I was up to 6ozs. of lead due to the wind.

I hope this is explained clearly,
Scott

Thanks BR. I guess that you can say the water was a "clean green"

Thanks JR, On a private boat, it's a team effort. So, I would say that we were lucky :Thumbs Up:


Hey one_leg, Giving away all the secrets again? Go with a #8 bait holder and you should be good to go!



Super nice Halibut you got there. Congrats . You eat it?

Yes, It tastes very good


Beautiful!!! :Shocked: Congrats on the big Butt. :Cool: :Big Grin:

Thanks Arthur and good luck in getting one over 40" I know that you've been slamming them pretty good, but I would be using more that 10lb test trying to drag one through the surf :Bug Eyes:



Dude! nice collection of fish there, did the huge Butt and the sea bass give you a work out?

Holding it up for the pictures and filleting it was a tougher workout than fighting it :Envious:
