    Default Is this a kaboom?


    Went to the “medium” pond again this afternoon, after giving the big pond a 15 minute second chance.

    Man they were hungry! The first 45 minutes I couldn’t even catch my breath. I’d get a bite the second the hook hit the water.

    It slowed down around 4:30 as the sun was starting to see. I did get a second wind around 5:00, albeit not quite as exciting.

    None of them were of any respectable size, but it was still a good time.

    I managed to remove all but one gut hook, and then took the advice from yesterday. I switched to a long shank hook, which was much easier to remove. Interestingly enough, it did seem like over half the time it would hook much deeper in the fish - the first hook almost always set in the lip.

    Total time was around two hours, and I was late to dinner

    I’m not positive on the count, because I go off of the pictures I took. Should be right at 40, give or take just a few. I would imagine you guys have had much bigger days, but it’s the most this amateur has had in many years. Name:  IMG_0842.jpg

    Use a jig head, and you will drastically reduce gut-hooking.

    I’ve had mixed results with that. I get zero gut hooks, but I get my bait robbed a lot?

    You need to go down to a 1/64 oz.

    Pick your poison. Zero gut hooks is worth it for me.
