Hey Juniordances?, you Wassie cracker wannabe, my elbows were straight down at my side as I held up my fish. I'm just a big guy that makes fish look smaller than they are in pics (really). And when you get strong enough to hold one of those big steel slabs up, we will take you out and catch one for you.
As for you other whinnin wussie Wassies ~
- 1st fish hooked (Paul - Oreo)
- 2nd fish hooked (RT - Oreo; while rowing the driftboat by myself thru a good looking slot while the other 2 guys were bankfishing, thus can't set the hook in front rod holder quick enough and lose another big fish on it's hard run when the hook pulls off - but this finally convinced them I was right that plugging is often the answer for mid 30's clearish water - by rudely corking one out from under their nose when I boated by

)
- 1st fish landed (RT - Oreo)
- 2nd fish landed (Paul - Oreo)
- 3rd fish landed (Justin - Wassie, in last hole by the takeout)
We all lost fish in between the landed ones. In fairness to Justin, he did more of the rowing and knew where to fish the holes. He did let me (Oreo) have fun rowing the 2 toughest rapids; without a tick. He says he will now trust me (Oreo) rowing the upper end of the 'Duc.

Ya see, Oreos rock! But so does the Kid of course!!
btw, the Vision debarbed siwash hooks worked well. Quick marginal hits on them while using fast action graphite rods are why some didn't stay buttoned. But who cares, it was a blast!
