Thread: A First for Me

I've caught doubles trolling minnows and jigs but this was my first double on a crankbait. My guess is the crappie hit first then the white tried to steal it.

Bet that was fun reeling in. I've done it once with 2 bass over on the St Francis. Definitely don't happen that way every day.

nice,have had doubles many times with a double minnow rig,but never with a crank

Sweet Wayne.... Had my first one of these last week

Yours was a tangled line Gewber. He had two fish on one bait.

If you look close the lines are not tangled.. Not even one twist.... You know a lot , but i caught that fish and the guy fishn with me reeled the other pole in... Now i wasnt under water to see him hit it, but it appeared he hit them both.... If he didnt, it happened in a way that i have never seen... I have had a bunch of fish get caught up in other lines, this just didnt look the part.... Gewber smoocher

We had that to happen a couple times spider rigging with a capps and coleman rig where the fish would hit the bottom one, come right up and hit the top one. When I tell the story, I always say I had a fish on both hooks at the same time.

It's is funny that this was brought up, because TODAY. I had 2 at the same time on the same crankbait, unfortunately, the one on the front hook was me. I was hurting purty good until the fish thrashed around and made the barb come through the other side of my thumb then I got some relief. It was then a simple matter to cut of the barb and pull back through and keep on fishing. Let me tell you, that those chinese needle nose pliers don't cut worth a flip when in that situation. Starting now, I am in the market for some Merican' made pliers just in case it happens again.

Hey Randall,

Next time you are in Walmart stop by the small hand tool section and pick you up a set of Stanley wire cutters. Don't take up much space in your tackle box and easy to get the nose of the cutters right where it needs to be to cut the hook.
