Yeah, we were 7/17. Some of the fish are just magicians I think.

I was running factory trebles on the plug that was getting bit. I ran some of my other ace plugs  but they did not yield any bites. My brother did not get a sniff all day on 5-6 different proven plugs.

Happened to me last may.  Sorry for your loss man, what finally got me back on the water was the thought that he wouldn't want me to not fish just because he wasn't there, plus, every time I get a fish, I know he's with me

I'm sure Doug would want me to live life to its fullest, just gonna take some time to adjust to the loss.

 :yeah: Big singles are the way to go for sure. It is always amazing when a fish absolutely pins a rod, peeling line, and doesn't hook up. That is the curse of plugs at times though.
