x2 with FT - great video
i tried this a few times , IT WORKS most times, the odd one came back up , but most disappeared into the deep ,
or maybe just a meal for a large bottom dweller , im better with that i think , the eagle thing gets old lol...
bit of a pain for most im gonna guess ,worth it to me ! but yes , an upside down weighted hook gets them back down ,
i use a large jig head as well or just a large barbless single hook with a 16 oz weight ahead of the hook ,
free spooled to the bottom , usually release themselves in short order
when tryin new areas , we always seem ta find bycatch when chasin lings and or hali ,
kinda get upset seein the floaters , i meant well on releasing them , the inflated bladders just wouldnt let that happen ,
good feelin lettin n me know they atleast have a chance !!
nothin wrong with that size yellow eye , good eats , nice work...
