in april of "04" i had bought my first huddleston. $20 at the time hehe, now about $35. i was fishing castaic lake in CA with my partner who is a tourny fisherman. i had caught many nice bass over the 5 years we had fished together, but a 6 1/2 was my p/b to this point. wich i happened to catch that morning dropshotting. my buddy tells me he can see some nice fish cruising close by the shore we are fishing, he tells me to throw the trout bait, 2nd cast with my new huddleston i feel the slam of a lifetime ! i set the hook like my life depended on it. fish on ! i couldnt even remember my name let alone imagine how big it is, she jumps about 10ft from the boat and my bud says i might finally have my 10lb bass. i freak out at that moment lol. i played her pretty well, with 20lb test line it was not too hard lol. my buddy nets her and i scream like a little girl. boats around us cheering and laughing. i wiegh her on my digital and she is 10 1/4 lbs. i finally had done it, after 2 years of followers, and missed hits, i had a trout bait fish, we kept her in the livewell to have her wieghed at the marina, 10 1/4 was the official wieght. i take her down to the docks and spend alot of time making sure she was ready to go, and she swam off strong as ever. still a day i will never forget. ive caught more trout bait fish since, but she still is my p/b. man what a day. will take it too my grave

no problem Nate, let's forget about it and keep the discussion going.
I haven't watched the video as carefully as you guys have but I have been to the lagoon once or twice and perhaps can shed some light on why people would rig hooks on top of the hudd or in the tail for fishing that lake... The lagoon is basically carpeted in grass out to a surprising depth, like 30+ feet. A lot of the grass, at least some times during the year, is very short out deep. So it probably makes a lot of sense to put a hook on the top of your lure, because if your bait hits the bottom with hooks on the belly, you'll be likely to get weeds on your bait.
I see everyone talking about hudd hook rigging online and it seems like many people are looking for the one perfect rig for the bait. I don't think it's that simple though, I think with any bait you should rig it to match the situation at your lake. Maybe at your lake the fish bite the baits in the head, maybe at my lake they bite the baits in the tail. Maybe there's weeds or trees or rocks to consider in the equation. The best way to rig any bait IMO is to see how you are getting bit either visually or based on teeth marks, then consider the cover and structure you're fishing around. Somewhere there will be a good mix that gives you fishability around cover and a high hookup ratio.
