More rigging baits for victory

After finishing rigging my new baits, seemed the Mustad 7732 11/0 hooks out of the box were pretty sharp, but remembering my own advice, pulled out the little low speed ceramic wheel "Point Maker" machine to give them a touch up. Well, just a few seconds on each side of the point made them into needles vs. nails. Your hooks cant' be too sharp. 80% of my marlin hookups are on the back hook up thru the bill, so sharp is good. Now that means I have to sharpen the hooks on all 400 baits I'll bring to the UVI.

I think it's between Team Hyena and The Surgeon General for second at the UVI, and Andre' is a dark horse. On the other hand we have some newbe's coming, and who knows?
