I think that that is just blackfishing. We all know how you can be fishing next to a guy who is catching fish after fish, using the same rig and bait, while you catch none. I have seen conventional outfish jigs and vice versa, but you never know if it was the spot the fishermen was in or if it was just his time to catch. I have to believe that the same crab, whether fished on a conventional rig or a jig, have an even chance of getting bit. It is what happens after the bite that the odds change in favor of conventional.

Any one that follows facebook could not help but hear about that. If I have to look at one more picture of David with his fish on a gaff I am going to puke. LOL. In all seriousness it was a great fish and congrats to David.

I use 1 - 3oz banana jigs unpainted. They cost about 75 cents.
