I fished for them out of my kayak when I lived in Corpus Christi, TX during flight school. We would catch ribbon (cutlass) fish in the canals over the lights in the wee hours of the morning, then launch from the beach. I ran a regular hook through the nose and 2-3 stinger hooks along the back side of the bait. Those Kingfish thought ribbon fish were candy. I even caught a few sharks doing this. I'll never forget a smoker that I played all the way up to the kayak and then he took off and spooled a Shimano 4500 Bait Runner. Some good memories.

As far a cooking. I had a smoked King dip that was OK. After I left CC, TX I fished for them exactly 2 more times in P'cola and never again.
