The 2 I kept this weekend were both 26 inches long, and probably just over 6 lbs., but I lost one that was much bigger and had several strong hits.

I was using pretty standard gear: Green or Red hot spot flasher with green spatter back hootchies rigged 30 inches behind the 11" flasher.

No downriggers, just a diver down about 40 to 60 pulls.
