question for fluke bucktailers

[watchman]

I've been bucktailing/jigging off the back of party boats for a number of years now and have a problem maybe you guys can help me with. It always seems the bigger a fluke the further from the boat it will surface outside the mates reach. I usually end up with my tip high, reeling and backing up trying slide it in the net, keeping as much pressure on the fish as I dare. How do other bucktailers deal with this problem? I was wondering if maybe putting the tip down near or in the water might keep him from coming up so far away. It drives me nuts when a big one shakes off . thanks watchman
