Lol. Yup. Landed two. Lost one while trying to secure it to the back of my fiancées kayak. Would not open it's mouth to get a cable through. Did a perfect back flip out and swam away. Dang it. That was a hundred dollar bill retail!  Game clip wouldn't have done me much good. Not sure what the best solution is other than patience.

Game clips help huge here. Shove the pointed end under the gill plate and push it out the mouth. Almost impossible for a fish to keep you from running it on the clip. Even works on lock jawed cabizon.

Ok, I got to get the right one. The ones I've seen have some ball/latch mechanism that would be impossible to put through locked jaws.  Sharp stiff pointy end is exactly what I need. 

Is there a preferred model? Thx!

Nice ... enjoy the fruits of the sea.  You've got the makings of a Mother's Day feast there.  Did you see much evidence of bait fish off Whiskey? Any size on the herring, if any?  I saw some folks out dipping for hooligan last evening on the rising tide near 20-mile last night...

Caught 2 more buts today, lost one while trying to pit it in the boat. Darn.  Oh well, brought home $300 worth of filets for the weekend.
