You smoke fish too @Hashpants ? With salmon, the collars and belly’s have the most oils? My dad was awesome with a smoker. When you grow up poor, smoking is a good way to preserve some things.
I loved bringing smoked fish and all the goodies to any kind of event. For most folks it’s a novelty and they really enjoy it.

I do ! I try to catch as many of my own meals as possible. Those Cobia eat crab mostly so they have plenty of fat. I even smoke the “rack” or skeleton. Dripping fat like pork around the fins and belly.

I had one on a gotcha plug in muddy water. I saw it roll and lo and behold it was on that 3 inch plug I was jerking. It skyed like 5 ft out the water. Probably 72inches long. I had 100 yards of 10# and 150 of backing 10# spiderwire. Needless to say it took all my line.

Kings frequently sky about 20 ft from the live bait on top and bite on the way down driving the bait down toward the water. That’s amazing to see.
