It is information like this that new guys "like me" don't really think about until it is taught by the more experienced anglers. I have fished for years on the cattle boats and some 2 and 3 day boats down into Mexico, but I have always been rigged heavy so I pretty much just drag the pig up. The information I am getting from this site is PRICELESS!
That pic of the Hamachi has got me hungry!
