 Posted: Sun Apr 25, 2010 8:43 pm Post subject: Another Big Hoo on Barefoot Chin Weight ! |
 |
|
Copied this from Fryingpantower.com
Headed out of MBI Friday, April 23rd at 5am with our sites on the steeples. After a 62# wahoo last time out, I was extremely excited to best that one. We put a 76# Hoo in the boat about 10:30am in about 350 feet of water. Water temperature was 75 degrees. Caught him on the shot gun with a naked "Barefoot Chin Weight". These rigs are deadly on the bigger fish because because of the way they swim. The cool thing is the trailing 7/0 stinger hook is not in the bait but just hanging below it on 150# wire. The hook is situated so that it points straight down. We used 80# flouro exiting through the top of the chin weight. This makes the lure dive slightly when being pulled, keeping it just under the surface of the water. Below are pictures with the crew: Chuck Williamson, Dan Spencer, and Mr. Tim Barefoot himself. The second picture shows how the stinger on the wire kept that Hoo on lock down.
To see the way they work click here and look at the videos

Well I made a video and tried to upload it but photobucket said that you can’t have a video over 10 minutes. It was just a little over it and I can’t figure out what to get rid of. I will take some pictures of how it did it later and post them.

If anyone wants to see the video before I figure out what to cut out and shorten up I can email it to you in an attachment. I will make the video again and try to get it under the 10 minutes and post on here. You can PM me your email and I will be glad to send you the video.
