Some Under Water Shots of Bigger Fish

[Deleted]

Most of my previous under water action was schoolies (4-8 pounders). I am now starting to observe the big boys (12-18 pounders) in action. My first impressions are that they travel alone or in pairs and do more tail smacking. They don't play around as much either. One even had my camera in its mouth. However, I am still seeing many tail and side first strikes. I definitely need more footage before making any conclusions. Here is a small sample.

Bigun, it is very interesting to me how we fishermen have deduced what is going on in places we cant see. Years of experience and community certainly bring about a wisdom that no individual could ever possess alone. 

Someone said a few months back that my underwater pictures are changing the way we think about fishing. Honestly, I am starting to see that my underwater pictures are simply confirming what the experienced folks already know. 

For me, I am pondering that catching a striper for real would mean to hook him in the mouth with one hook. Otherwise you are just snagging curiosity and risking a premature end to a beautiful thing. That is, the fish truly eating your bait...HEAD FIRST!

I will add that my biggest fish at sml come when I'm fishing far from the fleet and in places where you would least expect them. Just saying
