Some good feedback and some good laughs... Thx for the feedback

I heard pepper spray works as well. It not only stuns the fish but you won't need to marinade the fish because it will have an ole bay cajun taste from the spray.

Maybe a stun gun next to the pressure point...the stun guns that shoot the darts that pierce skin w/ the wires attached. Anytime the fish acts up stun'em until they learn to behave. It's also known to keep sharks away and serves as an electric fence type of stringer.

I think I'll go invest in a gaff for now but will try the tail flip method on the YTs. Seen plenty of catch and release w/ a pic on PB...they seem to be too gassed and seem somewhat manageable.

One more thing...has anyone used a boga grip on YT? I have the cheaper basspro models w/ the build in scale.... How many lbs of fish is too much to even consider using one? I've used them on japanese sea bass in the 60+cm range and they lock pretty good on those lips.
