On the leaving one in the water thing - we didn't have any followers on hooked fish but had one follow the bait to the boat 2 different times when reeling in. * I let it back and jigged it, he went nuts and bit the tail off, I let it back and jigged again, he went nuts and bit the bait in half and that was it *:-/ *I have heard of leaving one in the water before and was ready to do that but we didn't.

You only leave it in the water if you notice others following the fish but remember its a good chance they could get off. You need to have extra poles ready with a large hook and some chunked up ballyhoo. If you see other fish take a hand full of the chuncks and throw into the water to get them going and then toss in your lines and get ready for some great fishing. We use lite stuff with around 15 to 20lb test and these fish will be flying before you know it. We caught around 20 in an hour bailing them one day and I'd have to say it was about the most fun fishing I've ever had. The funny part was it was a slow day and the large charter boats were circling us trying to get in on the action but they did not have any luck as we would keep them close with a toss of a handfull of bait. I have been deep sea fishing around 25 to 30 times and only got into bailing them three times. Its just good to know how to do this so when the time comes you are ready to take advantage of the situation.
