Wow, that is indeed a nice sauger. Congrats to you.
If you don't mind, what did you catch the skipjacks on? I'd love to catch some skips for catfish bait.
Tyme if you need skippies they are easy right now. Go to the upper with a small jig whiteor chartruese or sibiki rig. I caught so many Yesterday that I got sick of looking at them, must have had thirty or more.
