Fished Lake Marion last Saturday afternoon. Went to a spot I caught fish during the pre-spawn and marked a lot of bait and fish. I put out 8 rods, two 14’, two 12’, two 10’ and two 7’6” and started long lining. Trolled about 20 yards and fish on, got rod back out and bam! Fish on, the same rod 7’6”. After this going on for a while I changed 6 rods to the same color (chartreuse 1/16oz head, pink/chartreuse tail triple ripple grub). The wife had a blast, we caught 42 in an hour. Now here is the thing. All of the fish except 5 came off the same rod. I was trying to make sure there was the same amount of line out on each rod. This has had me stumped all week.

Anyone have any idea what might have been going on?

By the way, caught 6 white females full of eggs.
