Did really well this weekend (for me anyway), 13 Blue Fish and 5 Bass (all keepers released and biggest was 41"). I did loose 2 bigger fish (and a bunch of smaller fish) the 2 big fish stayed down deep and wouldn't budge and I ended up loosing them after a good 5-6 min fight on 60 lb test. It made me think I might be using the wrong size hook and placement of the hook on the pogie could be wrong (through dorsal). Not complaining but I did loose the 2 biggest fish of the day and I can stop thinking about it. What is your favorite hook to use when live lining pogies?
