The hybrids, my friend, are blowin' in the wind! 10/18/14

Met up with Dale and launched the GetANet in search of stripes on Saturday morning. Got to the lake and it was glass-like. It sure as sh*t didnt stay that way... In about an hour or less, the lake went from flat sheet to a washing machine with wind honking at 20+ mph. It made trolling tough but we stuck it out and managed as best as we could. Had a few short strikes and a fish dropped at the boat before we finally started boating them. We adjusted depths all day long and there was no real pattern as the fish were scattered throughout the water column. We wound up with 6 fish to 21" but probably couldve had 10-12 considering the number of short strikes we had. To cap the day off after an unreal adventure (which Dale can tell if he pleases lol), we had a nice double header. We tried to keep fishing after that but the wind beat us down something proper.

Interesting tidbit of the day: 2 of the hybrids we caught throughout the day did something we've both never saw before. 2 fish on 2 separate occasions ate 2 baits! Dale pulled one in and it had 2 of our hooks in its mouth. Later on in the day, I pulled in a fish that did exactly the same thing--one in the tongue and one in the roof of its mouth. Pretty cool to see them feeding so voraciously.

Here's the porn... Catch em' up!
