Kampachi today are raised on a pellet feed free from antibiotics and hormones

Don't be afraid to throw lures meant for other species or lures that seem too large, either, as I've spent an entire afternoon nailing bass after bass with a large zara spook topwater even though half the bass here in the more northern states could never swallow something that large no matter how big they grow

There is only one type of lure as the only thing it does is allow you to sport fish for 2 hours

I believe fish react mostly to the flash of a lure to draw an instinctive reaction

I do most of my trolling in the 2.0-2.5 mph range and both the Long Shallow and Slash Rat series run very well at those speeds
