some bream will .....

bend a rod over pretty well , a few lately in the could eat it size range are pulling pretty darn hard for bream .....
sinking floats and just getting after it on the hook set ....fun fish for sure :cheers2
the one yesterday had the freight train thing going on and hooked in the lip tissue just barely ,,,,sure did pull hard , thunk it was male crappie ....
never did corkscrew around just dogged it hard all the way in ....

Those are some thick ones

Getting some color to them too .

Beautiful colors. They sure cam make an ultralight bend! Thanks for sharing

Great photos and story. Good fight from the sounds of it. My favorite is when they turn sideways and do the circle the campfire dance. Fun times!

That first one is a true stud! Some nice fish all.
