I do. Love catching kings. I fish for them a lot, live bait only. If it’s too rough to go offshore I’m trolling from the pass to several miles out.

Don’t catch as many true smokers out of pcb as they do to the west. The rigs hold a lot more bait and fish. Big fish.

Biggest one ever hit a xlarge wahoo hi speeder coming in at 18 knots. Had to be 50-60#. Stretched all the way across the beam from side to side. Slid it back in alive.

All large ones get released now but some smaller ones get smoked and dipped. Made some last wkend. Delicious.

Fresh king is good cooked just like anything else, especially fried. We call it Silver Snapper. Most folks can’t tell the difference.
