I've caught the same summer run on two consecutive casts. It was flopping so much the first time that I just cut the leader and let it go. Tied on a new rig, took a cast, fish on. I've got pictures with two hooks in the fish, one in each corner of the jaw.

I was fighting a summer run on the Stilly, hooked on a spinner, and had it just about tuckered out, with the spinner blade lazily flopping in front of it. Out of the depths another summer run ran up and nailed it, taking the spinner out of its mouth and getting hooked. I played the second one out and landed a bright hatchery fish. A minute later I noticed the first one on its side washed up almost completely out of the water right beside me, apparently played out and stunned by the hit the other fish gave it.

A two fish limit of chrome summer runs in one cast!

I've had a few close calls with hooked fish ramming the boat, but one actually knocked itself silly, making a pretty easy net job, not to mention a loud "BONK!" on the side of the boat.

Fish on..

Todd.
