how to use garfish as live bait?

[placebo]

to be honest i never tried garfish as live bait in my life when fishing from shores!
it looks a very good idea but i always wondered and thought that garfish is too long to put on a single hook!

Any suggestions and anyone have ever tried it succesfully?

I was thinking using a circle hook and putting the hook just in some place on the gafish's back?

I think that should work man. I usually hook it he way we troll with lacci. Pilot in its mouth and circle hook at the back

tks bigboy will try it after this week's long work!!!!

As it happens this is how i used to (& alot my friends still do) hook garfish up for live baiting and it works great...well ive had some good results on it in the past at least

I have had Dorado and GIANT garfish - enough to feed 4 people - on live 20 -30 cm garfish freelined hooked behind the fin on the back and let run free. They will go 200m and further if picked up by dorado and other game fish!!!
