I agree with BR. Bridle a hook sized to the live bait that's for off of TX or LA waters were AJ and warsaw might eat hard tales
For FLA gulf water grouper fishing a smaller live bait should equel a small hook.
Fit the hook size to match the bait and fit the hook strenght to match the
fish\drag.
In the 70's I hand lined warsaw up working off of the 100 mile platforms using hard tails and hooks the size of a hup cap but that was the 70's.
A bridled hook about half the size of the baits head should fit.
as far as the weights I now bring on the party boats I give them a quick shot of spray paint to seperate them from the boats stock
