AF, you have a very interesting idea!
Don't know the answers, but I will say that when I fished for tiger musky I caught a 12 inch bass and cut off most of the fins. Sat on a point and soaked the bait, and after a couple of hours the biggun hit, streaking away with the bass. Both my buddy and myself could hear the theme music from Jaws!
Sadly, I didn't give the monster time to swallow, so hookset failed. But the fact that the tiger musky went for the finless LMB is an indication that such prey signals vulnerability, I think.
Please tell us how this goes.
PS This happened on private waters. Not illegal.
