[Hooked on Kings]

Tried evening outing, got out on the water by 4:00 bite was good nothing big two @ 7 and 9 lbs and maybe 4 lb llost 5 others inside 100’ from the boat one fish  fish we lost managed to take the ring and treble hook completely off…. Never had this happen before.. any of have this happen before….. best water seemed to move north east from the chute out 200’ to 220 for us… most fish were marking @ 80 to 120 down.

Thanks for the report!

I did have the same thing happen with the ring and hook disappearing. I have a theory as to what happened… I had caught a fish on the same lure earlier and I had trouble getting the hook dislodged. I believe that in the process of trying to get the hook out that I had twisted the eye of the hook from being secure in the ring. The second fish took about 20 feet of line and adios!

Nice I'm heading there on tomorrow. I hope the water stays. I only get out once or twice a year anymore so it's good to know there are fish in the area.
