While casting a Daiwa Bait Junkie aboard the MICX—captained by his father, Mick Grasso—Max hooked and landed an impressive 34.6-inch giant trevally. This remarkable catch has earned Max the IGFA All-Tackle Length Junior World Record for the species.

Most hard baits have two or three treble hooks. The problem with this setup is large fish and lengthy fights can cause those tiny hooks to open up or tear from a fish’s lip.

I adapted my hard baits to use a single large hook. It resulted in the successful landing of more big fish than with the original hardware.Patrick SebileAug 5th, 2025
