Caught 22 fish today .. could not get on any big fish.. landed 2 21’s today one of them decided to leave the chat while I was taking a picture lol went over board.. and today was my first time breaking a 4/0 bkk flipping hook on a fish… hook snapped right in half.. hook set was solid with 65 lb braid when fish came out of the water thought it just spit the hook.. nope she brokeded ..

So on alot of the lives/round tables i got asked what an above a shot is so here is a picture and a break down
I use a heavy dock skipping rod usually 7ft 7’6
65 pound braid (any decent flipping stick will work)
3/0 straight shank flipping hook tied palomer with the line back through just like a drop shot then I will take and put a bobber stop on the tag line end..
Next I usually use a 3/8 to a 3/4 oz bullet weight (Depending on depth/cover) .. and on the end I use a swivel tied on by a another palomer knot (so the weight will not come off and helps with line twist) then I let the weight rest on the swivel, run the bobber stop to the bottom of the weight to peg it..
I use this In areas where it is extremely heavy cover but I still want some finesse or when the bottom is muddy/gunk..
just a different approach to flipping heavy cover to keep bait suspended.. lure of choice is a Zman fatty z most of the time but experiment.. (works best in muddy to stained water)

Lol didn’t we just have a round table on this.. then the guy who was hosting posted this fish today…. It is all okay we all make mistakes and overlook things.. I even had a 21 1/4 fish flop off the board into the water with Ricky Taylor watching me to see if I would freak out..
