Me too! Last time I was out for BFT I was jigging the butterfly exactly like a hammer jig. No wonder I didn't get any hits!

Nick, were you guys out a month or so ago tuna jigging when the big freighter Georgetown was anchored on the grounds?  If so, the Saltwater Sportsman Magazine was cracking off shots of your crew jigging and slamming tuna.  Cool hooked up photos etc...There was a yellow boat along side us and the photographer was just firing away shots of you.  if so, I'll get some photos of your boat for you.
