if you want to see this first hand, go up in the end of nov. and watch in linwood bay at night (by the way linwood is closed at night). it will make you sick watching the six foot rip jig strokes with a huge hopkins spoon sporting a gaff as a treble hook.
i was not in town last nov or dec, so i can't say this happened last year for a fact but the year before it was happening everytime i was there.
if you can't catch them in the mouth are you really fishing?
no, this is not the standard practice. only the people that don't have any respect for a 20 year old fish do this.
