Guys, the big ones aren't caught very often cause they aren't hanging out in the usual places that everyone typically fishes for blackmouth. The hogs are out there but you got to put your bait/lure in front of 'em. Go deep! Yup, me again singing the same tune . . . pull that flasher/hootchie (or whatever) across the bottom at 220'-260'. Got half a dozen fish over 10 pounds last year, one went 18 (got the scale receipt to prove it). Haven't been out yet cause area 10 is still closed but I know the fish are there. Big ones have beat-up snouts from rooting in the mud & rocks for shrimp & worms . . . . go deeeeep!
