2 reasons, one I find I get snagged on the bottom a lot less the more straight up and down I can keep the line/jig, heavier jigs help with this. Second, the first ling we caught puked up fish that were fairly large, about the size of the paddle tail I was using. If I do not get bit with big presentation, I will downsize. I do believe "matching the hatch" has some validity to it.Looks like great water! Gotta take advantage of those days this year. They are few and far between. Nice looking ling cod. I'm curious why so heavy? I'm usually around 6 ounces between 80' and 100'.
My wife's fish tacos are outstanding. But it is my fish that is the main ingredient, lol.Nice day, great outing!
