Most of what I see people eating online are big like that, but even the bigger ones from the roving schools I come across are skinny, even if long. Anything you do to target bigger macks that works well?

Caught these guys on a 4" sinking jerkbait. Bigger lure = bigger fish. I've gotten an est. 3lb mackerel before too. Got that one on a 60g jig. They come and go. Location is pretty important too. The biggest ones I've gotten tend to come from kelp edges and deeper dropoffs.
