We were fishing the OP two weeks ago pulling plugs. I had already caught one about nine pounds and having a great time when my pole doubles over and I'm into my second fish. The fish is ripping of line while we manuver the boat out away from the bank. The fish suprised me when it launched out of the water. This fish was clearly twenty pounds plus. The fish did a weird contorsion mid air and broke off. I reeled up and the plug was still there with a mangled O-ring minus the hook. I've never lost a fish due to a mangled O-ring. We put a new O-ring and hook back on then rowed up and over to fish the hole again. A quarter of the way through the hole my pole does the bam-bam and I'm into a nineteen pound buck. It was great to see that buck caught and released. Love the OP. PFunk
