Trolled IP for 5 hours and only landed 3 fish . I lost a bunch . I was using a spoon called a Kamalooper . It is very heavy for it's size and when the fish would jump they would through the hook . I am going to change the hooks out to some red lazer sharps and try again . There were a lot of fish out in the fingers on west end , but the water clarity was bad . You could only see your lures about a foot down . So I move into clearer water out from Trudes and started getting hits again . I have only been stuck by a hook past the barb twice in the last 60 year and yesterday was one of them . I was 7 the first time so I hope it's another 53 years before it happens again . I know a trick to remove them but couldn't use it because the hook was in my middle finger on my left hand and it takes two hands to use the method and I was by myself . So I just bit the bullet and grabbed the lure with my leatherman and jerked it out . Went back to camp and drank beer till it stopped hurting . Curt G.
