Years ago when I used to chunk drift the canal, as many did at that time, when ever I gutted a bigger fish it usually had a head or 2 in them. People used to chum up the holes and would toss the head along with the other parts and then put a big juicy middle chunk on the hook and drift. I figured that the fish were finding these heads on the bottom and gobbling them up so I would chum the whole fish and use only the head on the hook. You would not a have as many hook ups but it was usually a large fish. I vote heads.
