Bigger fish through better science. This is just wrong. I found it on the Eagle Claw website while looking for treble hooks.

27.50 lbs.
John Chapman of Anaheim caught this huge "once-in-a-lifetime" Mt. Lassen Rainbow on what he calls a "John Jig".
A John Jig is made up with a Yellow Nitro Amino Egg head and a worm tail pinned on an Eagle Claw #8 hook. This combo is then given a slime coating of White Lightning Nitro Grease.
John thought he would never land this hard fighting bull, but after nearly a 20 minute battle and several crossed lines, his 2 lb. line and Eagle Claw hook did the trick.
