I've had biggies not jump at all before. I never understand what goes on when they jump, like the science behind throwing the hook. I have noticed the less drag I have the less they jump. Ive had one jump then throw the hook 5 sec later under water. I think they jump when they are forced to the surface hence why a low drag will keep them swimming on the bottom. All speculation.
