Ask the troll Garriga to stop and your wishes would be answered.
Just review this thread.

My first post a picture of tuna bombs.
My second post a picture and comment to another member.
My third post a picture and comment about a knife.
Fourth answering Garriga's question about hook size.


Then Garriga shows up with his Captain Jackie Photo,
and the thread devolves from there.
Happens the exact same way almost every time.
Stop the troll Garriga and the problem goes away,
just that simple.

More time I spend responding to the invasive retard,
less time I have to offer fishing information.
Finally figured our communication issue. You think in literal terms. I'm mostly abstract. I see the big picture. You hang on very specific details. I think a good term for you is Litard. Yes. I love it. From now on. You will be Litard.
 
I actually know what mooching reel is. No experience with one. Do believe similar design used surf casting. Don't hold me to the fire. Going off memory of something I read about decades ago. Think abstract. Not literally. ;)
You don't know how a mooching reel operates,
but you still feel the need to make a comment.
THis is the basic problem.
You interject on things you have no actual information
or experience with. WHY ???
You don't know or have experience,
but you always feel the need to comment.


How about sticking to commenting about things
you actually know or have experience,
and cut down on the imagination and thinking stuff.

If you don't know or have experience,
maybe keep your mouth shut,
as you have nothing of value to contribute
if you lack the experience or knowledge,
a pretty simple concept.

PS. A mooching reel is not a similar design to a surf fishing reel,
the Alvey, you are thinking about. They operate differently.
But I'm sure your abstract big thinking will find some way to make
a useless comment once again.

. I'm mostly abstract.
I see the big picture.
You hang on very specific details.
You are a big picture guy ???
LMFAO

A big picture guy would understand the bigger picture
of using large hooks to keep off small fish,
also keeps away the big fish that are the target.
A big picture guy would realize they scare away more
big fish with their big hooks,
then the amount of smaller fish their hooks keep away.
The big picture guy would realize that.

Ever hear the expression,
"The Devil is in the Details"
Never more true than with fishing.
The best at this game pay very very close attention to
the details, because that is what makes the big difference usually.

Guys who don't focus on the details
never excel in this game.


So stick with your big picture,
your abstract ideas and your oversized hooks.
As you know better than anybody,
and what you are doing must be the best way,
as you have nothing to learn from anybody,
as you know it all and there is no learning for you,
or listening to anything that might differ from your
preconceived notions about anything in this world.

I've yet to see you admit one time you were wrong
or ever learned anything on this site.

You always got some contrarian "opinion" never based on facts,
and often proved wrong by the actual facts.
 
Ass fat donkey LOL why don't you tell why were you kicked out of SOL ?

Thanks Jack, this is one of the few threads we were able to have a somewhat decent conversation. But as usual it got out of hand. I'm surprised Bc this thread originally sat in limbo until I came back from offshore and saw "tuna trap" so I commented Bc I have the 1st hand knowledge making them and using them for their intended use. It's a shame what it became after that.

Anthony. Every ban you've recently received has been because of me. Ask Austin. Only reason you're still posting is because he hasn't read his messages yet. You're very capable finding new ways to get back. Why not take those skills to better use. Otherwise keep coming up with new names. You're stench is unforgettable. I'll keep getting you banned.

You don't know how to get along. Have the indecency to threat another's family. Call my fiancé.

Wonder how indecent you are in person. Hopefully one day. Guys like you don't grasp right from wrong. Guys like me only know right. Better hope that day don't come.

Otherwise. Say where and when. Man up. Shut up. Don't give a fuck which one.

You don't see the value in providing instructions on using the traps? Ever ponder the idea they've been around long before you or I were born? Ever ponder the idea I've used the same exact concept on other species? Perhaps because of what I saw long ago for the exact purpose of chunking Tuna yet never actually used it on Tuna? Perhaps why I don't grasp their effectiveness and why I mentioned circle hooks.

Don't focus on the size of the hook. I recall the bait being bigger. Was a long time ago after all. Focus on the point about catching in the corner of the intended target. Tuna aren't special. Not the only line shy species that wants an unhindered drift.

There's more than one way to catch fish. Just because it's not your way shouldn't imply the differing view is disruptive or wrong. It's just different.

Try catching weary yellowtails or kings in gin clear heavily fished waters. Some do. Most don't. I've found ways to not be the latter.

Try a properly sized circle hook with shank thickness that correlates with drag used and that chunk/offering will drift in the current like any other unattached object. Like I said. More than one way. Don't have to accept it. Don't have to piss on it, either.

To be honest when I first posted up, I was kind of hoping that some of the responses would address things like size of hooks, bait chunks, line, leader in relation to the drift. Like everything else there are set ups that work well and those that wont.

I would suggest contacting Garriga by PM.
He is the acknowledged leading expert in this rig type.
I'm sure he is a bit hesitant to share his secrets on the internet,
but maybe he will share by PM.

After all, one must be blind if they don't realize by now

You mentioned me as not knowing what it is. Are you fucken retarded?
Looks like time for another review,
you are forgetting things even faster than before,
might want to visit the doctor to get that checked out.

So, NC asked what kind of reel was being used.
Garriga, who starts posting at 6am every morning on this site,
and continues through out the day,
had many hours to respond to that question,
a chance to display his knowledge,
which he does on so so many threads.
Yet, it did not occur on this thread ???

Once HJ posted that it was a mooching reel,
only after this point does garriga "know" what this reel is, interesting.
HJ knows garriga has no clue what a mooching reel is used for,
knows has he ever had one in his hands.
HJ also knows that Garriga will feel qualified to comment on the reel,
as he offers his expert abstract opinion on so many topics,
most he has no clue on, no different that a mooching reel.

So, HJ has some extra room in the fish box,
breaks out a fat juicy live bunker, chooses a tiny hook
and tosses it out there with this comment
"We'll let garriga explain the reel,
he probably has opinion, even while never have used one before."

As we all know by now, HJ has no problem catching garriga,
and once again, garriga comes charging in on the bait,
not realizing there is a hook in, small hook he didn't see
and he posts the following:
"I actually know what mooching reel is.
No experience with one.
Do believe similar design used surf casting.
"
He even doubles down with another comment
" You mentioned me as not knowing what it is.
Are you fucken retarded? "


Now, I have long understood how Garriga thinks
and reacts, why I have an easy time catching him.
So this is how it played out in his mind.
He saw the mooching reel, reminded him of a surf
fishing reel from Australia.
So, now being the expert in everything, he used his
Garriga wisdom, to figure out that since the mooching
reel looks like the reel from Australia, it must be
the same type of reel, and thus he must know how its used,
and thus he will post online its used for surf fishing,
educating the less informed than himself.

HJ also knows that Garriga has never fished in British Columbia
or probably anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, so he would
have no experience with this reel, and he would make ASSumptions
from his garriga knowledge as usual.

So, mooching reels are mainly used with down riggers fishing cut plug
herring. They can be used with some other rigs as well for trolling.
THEY ARE NEVER USED FOR CASTING
as they do not cast well or are even designed to cast.

But as usual, without any knowledge or experience,
Garriga felt qualified to comment on the reel.
And not only that, call me a fucken retard when I pointed out
a mooching reel is not what he ASSumed.

Like I posted earlier,
Garriga feels qualified to post his expert knowledge on anything,
even with no actual knowledge or experience on the topic.
Mooching reels, tuna traps, tuna bombs, bait knives, cheese knives,
and so on and so on.

When HJ points out Garriga is talking out his ass and has no clue,
garriga resorts to childish photos as his response.
NEVER ONCE acting like a man, and just admitting he was wrong
or learned something. That NEVER HAPPENS.

What does happen is childish trolling photos/attacks in response.
 
Like I mentioned above,
I can predict Garriga's response to any situation or comment made.



Took less than 4 minutes
for Garriga to prove my point.

Garriga, I enjoy your images.
The top one on this page,
the literal and abstract thinker.
In that photo reference and all the others
Tom Cruise would be the Literal thinker (hungryjack)
and Dustin Hoffman the abstract thinker. (garriga)

So, lets review.

Dustin Hoffman/Garriga the Abstract thinker
lives in a mental institution
and spends his day worrying about



While Tom Cruise/Hungry Jack the Literal thinker
spends his day driving exotic cars and
banging Valeria Golino

I might not be as wise as you Garriga,
but I think I will stick with the Literal thinking
seems to yield better results.
You're being too literal in your interpretation. Get it? Nope. Never will. Good thing for you there's a groupie. ;)
