Number one there was a couple three day weekend adventures,and a friday here and there.Number two we have eight acres in montesano that we have our travel trailer set up on.This really helps out the amount I get to fish because it's my wifes side of the family that owns it.That means my father in-law can watch me to make sure I've been a good boy.
As far as the landing ratio it's called double pumping the hook set / Single gammi hook's and owner trebles on the plug's.Most importantly being on top of your game during the battle and not doing something to screw up the landing.
