My biggest sand bass at LJ puked up 4 small ones in my lap!!!!! When I took the hook out of its mouth.😝

Only problem with using them as bait is that they might try and attack the fish that you're trying to catch! I dropped a big iron the other day and came up with a lizard fish that was just slightly bigger than the iron. They are ambitious little buggers I'll give them credit for that!

The one lizard I caught actually hooked himself trying to eat the sand dab I was catching lol Those sand dabs are so tasty!

i dunno, i never had much luck sending lizardfish back down to the bottom. i don't think other fish find them as appealing as other baits

My first trip to SD bay I caught one and after reading somewhere they were good for halibut bait, I hooked it up and sent it down. after a short time the rod slowly bends over, thinking I'm hooked on the bottom I give it a yank, it yanked back. Towed me for a little bit then busted the line (this was before I migrated to braid).
