The BT was a nice dark color with good blood and held up to 2 casts at Miramar. Nothing bit it though. I'm always tempted by the rat yellowtails, japanese amberjack, they have but never scored a bite on them.

I know.  It's weird, I crushed it on all of the bullet tuna that Jim gave me, but you never got a sniff.  Weird stuff.

They also had a very promising fish in there for catfish bait. I grabbed a few and will test this weekend somewhere.

Don't cut it up.  Throw the whole thing out there as live bait  ;)
