Good buddy Rick Lisek sent me these pic's. of a double he had today on his guide trip. 

Said they boated a dozen over 3.5 pounds. 

You got to find them on your own.

HUGE K's!

I will assume Rick Kisek has FFS and has learned to use it very well. Currently FFS for offshore suspending/staging fish is extremely effective. There are two categories of these fish, those relating to bait and those that are not. Those relating to small pods of 'surface bait' are very willing to bite and FFS makes catching very efficient. The bait is postured from the surface to 10' down and the bass are located a few feet below them at 12 to 15ft (over what ever depth, normally 20 to 50 FOW). Normally your Offshore FFS presentation has four success factors... boat control, fish movement, fish depth, and casting accuracy . But with fish relating to surface bait, you eliminate fish movement and fish depth because your bait only has to drop for 2 to 3 seconds to get to 12 to 15 ft. You can locate staging fish without FFS and do Ok, but with FFS you can do better than Ok. With the early bite, the clock is running and FFS allows you to catch more fish before the bite clock expires and the bait fish drops down. FFS has changed the deep offshore game and guys are going through the learning curve at a rapid pace. For decades I used a 5" screen and had some success and now with FFS I am enjoying a new learning experience. FFS is not required to catch plenty of offshore fish, but it will eliminate many many years of learning curve.

Dock, very astute, Rick said they saw most every bite on Active Target.

Such Fat pigs!! Gobble guts haha

Will be interesting to see in five years how many people have neck problems from looking down and  staring at a screen for hours at a time while standing up fishing. I know my left hip is screwed from one legging it without a recessed  tm foot pedal for decades 😄

Dang, now I know what's wrong with MY left hip! And all this time I thought it was golf. 😆

And I would lose $100 bet on that fish on the right because I would wager that amount that it weighed 5 pounds. Good grief, what a gorgeous pair of fish. Lisek can flat-out catch em.

Man, those Table Rock Footballs are Beautiful !
