I beg to differ Iron Head. I used to fish the Skok alot in the 70's/80's. I too caught alot of fish IN THE MOUTH. But, it's funny how many of those kids on the other bank would cast towards your line and snag up your fish. I'm sorry, but my 12# test is no match for test line they're using.

So, it's not just the flossers/snaggers *****ing. I've caught more then my share using eggs floated through the hole, or using sandshrimp. All mine were solid hooksets, and no, I didn't do a "yank ever 5 seconds" either. But you can't compete. I lost 3 kings in a row thanks to the kids on the other side of the bank. That's about the same time I gave up on the place. The only thing I can say is they were nice enough to give me my gear back. But my hooks were in the mouth, the guys on the high bank had their 5/0 weighted trebles in the back.
