Was going through all my fishing stuff today and found these bad boys. They are like 4 and 6 oz I'd say. How would I fish them?

If they are that heavy they would be ideal for jigging in the Gulf, over reefs or on rigs. Could also use them off of the jetties, will probly lose them there though. There are a number of species you can catch with jigs in the Gulf, but snapper is normally the targeted species.

Offshore deeper waters. Snapper, grouper, amberjack would be the most likely targets.

They work pretty good on your brother in law. Couple of good sized knots on their head, you'll get their attention.

Keep one tied to a heavy casting rod when you're fishing your local lake. Use it to communicate to the jetskier not to buzz you from 15 feet away (6 ounces of lead to the noggin can be quite an effective non-verbal form of communication!)

At the end of a pole with a reel attached to it that holds alot of line (considering the size of those things). J/K Looks like deeper water gear to me. Might make a killing on snapper with them things.
Man up. Fight the GOOD fight.

Rays also hit them. Caught the biggest ray of my life using one many years ago. Thought I had a bull red. He wasnt happy about it, but luckily I was able to retrieve it and release the huge ray.
Now, Donald...please pick John Bolton for your running mate.
