On the last spot, flipper showed up. I would hook a good fish on the bottom and before I reeled in 10 feet he would grab it and then I would have to fight him. Had just put some new braid on so wanted to get as much line as I could back before I cut it but after about 5 minuted, guess he managed to get the fish off as the line would go limp and I ended up getting the whole rig back, minus any fish. This happened 3 times and that was that. Never had one grab the fish so deep, guess this was his hole.

Next time try clicking the reel into free spool the second you think flipper has it. Not really sure why, but flipper will usually spit it out.

Us rednecks call em white snapper, silver snapper or bait.

Yeah that's one common name alright.

I can't count the number of times i've been fishing in the gulf when somebodypulls up a pogy and says to everybody on the boat, "hey guys, I just caught a porgy!!" LOL!:doh
