Skipjack rig?

[ROBMO]

I caught a few skipjack today while crappie fishing. Can any one recommend a way to rig a live skipjack to fish for striper? I’ve always heard of people doing it... I plan on trolling it

I’ll use a Gamakatsu circle hook like this, it may be marketed as a big game or catfish hook. I’ll hook through the top of the mouth through the nostril hole. I use different sizes depending how big the skipjack. If I’m free lining I like at least 50lb power pro braid. If I’m pulling up planer board‘s I will use 50 pound braid with the swivel and leader.

Where did you catch the jacks? 8/0 circle works well
