Great fish Tyler. I was getting grumpy as the fleet showed up and parked all around me, especially as the bendo's started. Finally got hammered on the iron and as I got a few cranks into it, the bait rod starts singing....DOUBLE HOOKUP!
They ran in opposite directions so I didn't get towed, just stuck in the middle watching line peel off of both reels. Stayed with the iron fish and slowly worked him in, periodically reeling in any slack on the bait rod still behind me. Dropped my gaff somewhere along the line but Ken was nice enough to paddle over and throw it back. Got the first fish stuck and went to work on the bait fish. He was still frisky even after the long dead sticked fight but it wasn't long before he found the gaff as well. I guessimate 18 and 22. Couple other OEX friends doubled up as well.
Fished Sunday but it was much slower. Saw a couple fish landed but the combined plastic and pber fleet didn't do very well. Nasty wind kicked up early and spoiled the day.
