But when you're using freshly caught fish for bait, you need an 11/0 hook for a 12 inch sand trout or 13 inch croaker.

My son's first bull red was on a 12 inch sand trout with an 11/0 hook.

I definitely wont doubt you, you catch way more than i do. Just 11/0 seems insanely big but if it works, it works!

We usually use 7/0 hooks for mullet or crab. But when someone catches a 12-13" sand trout or croaker, we hook that baby up on an 11/0.
