When C&Ring the fish is 'caught' when hand touches tail in my book.

As far as percentages, I'm about 80 percent under a float and barely 50 percent drifting. Sure is nice to get the fish in the top jaw under a float. Had a fantastic "batting average" this year because I landed just 4 fish drifting and a large bunch under a float. This is the first 'low water' winter we've had in a while--lots more float water.
