Nah, typical brigtht moonlight action. He had a rigged eel and I had plastic. I should know better. The spot we were at always delivers big on the moon but you have to have an eel.

riggies and a full moon are a good combo. was in a slow pick of 15 to low 20's on livies the other night, switched to a big ass riggie and bang. weighing it in this afternoon. About 36, hopefully it won't make the top 10 for S-B at end of season.

Nice catch Josh. Was it a traditional 2 siwash hook riggie or did you have a swimmer plate on it? Just curious.

That's great. Hopefully your arms are still attached. For whatever reason, they hit those things real hard.

that's the truth, this was up there with the hardest hits i've ever had (felt even harder since i've been fishing mostly live eels lately). solid hookup with the tail hook and the rig held together well.

Using braid to the tail hook or other? Sorry to make you puke up all the secrets. I can pm if you want. I rig mine Al B. style and was curious as to what others are doing.
