I think I figured out why my line broke on that fish. Over the summer twice I put the jig in the outrigger on my boat while chunking. Apparently after hours of bouncing up and down it will chafe the braid 100' in. That's about the depth I had it at. Duh!

Fishing with you and Horatio is always a Pleasure and if there's a fish out there somewhere one of you will find it! Horatio put the first one onboard and if that mishap of yours didn't occur, I think yours would have been the second one. That's Makes a lot of sense what u said about the chafing. Damn, but you never gave up and got your beauty as the clock was ticking down and that's what counts.

I tip my tile jigs with meat but never with white leggers, hmm maybe I should. I've tried using chicken soaked in shedder oil so why not? lol

Way to go Dennis! Glad to hear a nice report. Did you use any weight or just flat lined the sardine?

No weight but some folks were using an ounce or less. I also feel no weight is more natural and it keeps you above the other lines and out of tangles.
