Pinning the mouth closed is a sure way to kill your bait. I used to rig the Mack's across the nose but got tired if the hook turning in to the baits head. I went to the in the mouth and up through the nose rigging and found the hook turns less. Mike

I was taught
Jim Simons, show us one day we had him for a lesson, hook the mack just in front of the dorsal fin, not too deep to go through the back bone , I have never had a problem trolling one or hooking a fish.

I've had green backs live for HOURS on troll and then released them and watched them swim away like nothing ever happend. Side hook or through the roof of the mount out the snout. They're a pretty hardy fish.

To troll them I pin them sideways through the nose.
When I'm dropping a Mack in the water where there's a lot of bait fish I pin it somewhere between its dorsal fin and tail to get it to not only swim down to the depth I want but to also make it look different ( aka an easier target) then the rest of the school.
