pondfisher Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 So me and my homeboy skiffin16 decided to go old school and hit up some of our favorite old bay haunts. It had been a while. Two trips and quick limits. And more shorts than we could count. John had the hot hand as he was able to wrestle up two pigs that had broken me off on two different trips - both fish came up with my hook still in its mouth. Payback. As usual, big baits = big fish. Was a great reunion with my best diggin’ pal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Wow, those are some really nice in-shore Gags. They pull so hard!!! I know you were working hard to pull them out of their holes. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Troy Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Nice ones. Yep, I see both you and linesider had to drag them out of the hole. All skinned up tells me you guys are too slow. Johns fish are scratch free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Well, there is one thing about fishing for inshore Gags, you don't have to worry about setting the hook. It's intense fishing for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness though, it’s extremely difficult to get these particular fish up without finding them with some battle wounds. Super thick structure. And no doubt, you have to be quick on the draw to get them out or it’s game over within seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
