Hi guys,
I found this video that showed a hand signal for jackfish

But I can't figure out why. Does any know the reason for that?
 
A pantomime of using one of these I presume?

Only hand signal I've previously observed for that fish isn't appropriate in mixed company. That was the same instructor who used the can opener sign for tuna... And don't ask what was signed for damsel fish.

What do you call a Jackfish? In Northern Canada it means Northern Pike (freshwater). The video is appropriate for getting the lure out of that monster's mouth.
 
I guess mine would be slightly......different, as well.
