Fishing “king green” water is one key to finding and catching 50- to 60-pound smokers — the big kingfish that win tournaments.
Top competitors on the kingfish circuit employ fast 23- to 45-foot boats. Speed gets them to grounds quickly and lets them fish as long as possible before racing back for weigh-in.
Rigs used by Scott Smith, a North Carolina-based captain of Instigator, a 31-foot Yellowfin.
Top tournament anglers, like members of Team Intense, dedicate a tremendous amount of time and resources toward a singular goal: catching trophy king mackerel.
