I've seen some do that when we are in Alabama (Dauphin Island), but have never tried it.

Can I post a screenshot of a magazine that covers this topic?

Yup.

I've done it many times on long range boats out of San Diego. The deck hands set up the gear, and you man the rod watching for the flag to go down. It can be very productive or standing on the deck for hours in the hot sun squinting to see the flag( otherwise known as kite jail). The biggest advantage is the ability to use very heavy gear while still having a very life like bait presentation. Super exciting when it's working, the visual of watching the fish blow up on a bait, highly recommend it it if the opportunity presents itself

I know they use it effectively in Nova Scotia to catch giant tuna. This technique has the advantage of hiding the very thick lines out of the water from the fish's sight.
