10 fish hooked,2 landed. Not a bad day for salmon or steelhead, but terrible for bluegills! Lost 8 fish in the lily pads, but got a good fight before they got into the pads. Best bait for me was a size 8 gold bead head fly, red body, gold rib, partridge tail and collar. White crappies nibbles and of course, Slabsauce.
Certainly sounds like fun
Seems like a fun day. You didn't really want to land all ten anyway. rotfl
One problem at a time, you passed on that, getting them on is number one:ThumbsUp, landing them, especially in something as stubborn as lily pads, well that's another thing:dono
I tried real hard to not land them:biggrin best part was 2 fellas in a boat watching me do battle while they aren't getting any bites and hearing "He's got another one on"!
Don't you love it when that happens. Especially if it is someone who poked fun at you previously.Quote:

I’ll take a trip like that. Good stout fish are tough to boat sometimes.

Perfect analogy gillchaser!
Thought you were teaching someone how to drive boat ---> 10 & 2 (o'clock) hands on steering wheel.
Obstacles can make landing fish tough , sort of frustrating too ….
A not big fish in vegetation gets stupid heavy on light tackle…
Had a bass smash a bluegill the other day on my line that was wallowing in the vegetation
Lost that gill to the bass I think , but it might have been the vegetation….
All I know factually is poof it was gone …:Rofl
