    Anyone ever troll at night?

    I'm toying with the idea too.. Put together these LED TX 22 planner boards a few weeks ago and gave them a shot last week... They worked extremely well and was very impressed with them...

    Alex, you sure it wasn't my spoon!!!!! :yawn: After all, we do think alike......but seriously.... I broke on 2 good bows in that area the last 2 weeks, all that jumping and running. they have been swallowing them, and the teeth have been crushing my lines, been re-tying after each encounter. Great story, as I said to ya this week end.......Dialed in.

    I'm constantly cutting and re-tying too. I'm tempted to switch to heavier floro leaders. 12lb with a drag that is to tight can be bad news.

    I took my oldest nephew fishing this past Saturday. We both woke up early and were on the water before 6. After dropping the first few he started getting the hang of fighting the fish and was really doing well.

    After about an hour the right right took a ferocious rip. He battled the fish for several minutes then POP line breaks! At this point we were both pretty disheartened but kept fishing hoping for some better luck. We proceeded to troll STRAIGHT for another 15-20 minutes when the same rigger fires. The fish was immediately at the surface and gave up as if it was exhausted.

    This is when things get interesting. I netted a solid 25 inch bow with 2 spoons in her mouth! That same fish came back for more and ate again. Different spoon, different depth and hundreds of yards from the first hit. Needless to say we couldn't believe it and he hasn't stopped telling that story since.

    Here's a photo of my dad with that fish later in the day. Really wish I would have snapped a picture of both spoons in her mouth.
