Not sure if it's the same guy in your regional article but it sounds like Jimmy George from Montauk. He seems to bang many large on his custom spoons.Looks more like a flounder than a bunker. The potential problem is that you can't continue to take that many large fish without it coming back to haunt the fishery IMHO.

I think wire line is against IGFA rules. In order for it to count as a record it has to conform to the rules. Also, no treble hooks with bait, only lures.

Good article. I make all my own bunker spoons and have experimented on some different types. I am already trying to produce one like that as we speak. Does look like a flounder which bass love as much as I do. If you want big fish that is the way to go. My 4 largest fish in the last 2 years all came on bunker spoons. I do seem to lose a few though because of the violent action of the lure. The key is the rod. Really need a 9- 10 ft. trolling rod with a soft tip. Makes the things swim the way needed. Can't get that type of action in a shorter stiff rod. Tough to store on board though. Good info. Paul

Wonder whether they'd consider an eel skin on a plug a "bait"  |

Not the rigged eel bait or lure controversey.
I read the article it is Jimmy George.hard to argue with what they say is his success.Big Numbers of big fish to 69.15. Said he had one bigger, a client tightened the drag on when told to loosen it.I remeber a few yrs ago a older guy showin me a big copper fryin pan of a trollin spoon he had looked like a fluke I thought was very interesting.i had bass wit small flounder stacked up like pancakes in the bellies so the love of flatfish is no mystery to me.The whole trollin thing looks boring to most butt to get it right is a science an is still fishing.just not my gig.
