Dumbest trip for me. It was probably 5 years ago. I went sight fishing at Dixon. After spending probably 4 hours looking I found nothing big enough to fish for. Then I remembered I brought a couple trout bait prototypes. The were around 9in and full bodied. they were protos so the internal rigging was borrowed from another bait that had a single top hook that was too small for the bait. I think it was a 3/0. I had no stinger hook rigged on it.( I am sure you guys know were this is going) So I hucked it out there just so I can see it swim. Well of course I get bit and of course its huge. I would guess 15lbs. The fish jumped twice, and the 2nd time it threw the bait. So what does my dumb a$$ do? I cast it again.........Yep I hooked another one not quite as big but still probably 10 and yep it jumped and threw thew the bait. This time I get the bait back and with my hands shaking I dig out my crimps and trebles and rig the bait with a belly treble. I enede up getting a 6 and then a 4. If only I would have rigged it up before I started I would have had a monster bag. Live and learn, I will never make that mistake again.
