Slip, I have been fortunate enough to have been on the island when big fish have moved through. I still think about what I could have landed had I not made mistakes on a couple fish I hooked. Three of us last fall hooked into multiple fish each during an epic blitz that made us look and feel silly. Only a couple times in my life have I felt under gunned, and last year's blitz was one of them. If you truly try to target the big girls, they can be found. I feel your odds of hooking a monster go up 10x out there. Unfortunately, your odds of landing her after hooking up go down just as much. As anyone that has been out there knows, it is not the easiest place to fight and land a good fish. You need to be willing to sacrifice your safety at times just to get a hand on her. We still re-live stories of that night and my landing techniques.
