caught with both hooks

My fishing buddy Chester had purchased some Waxwings but hadn’t gotten the chance to try them until today. We went to one of the test grounds and as I was demonstrating how I like to retrieve the lure, this white papio hammered it on cue.  This was the first time a fish was stuck by both hooks.  Because I had smashed down the barbs, I was able to shake the fish loose, unharmed.

Chester had papio bump his Waxwing and landed a white papio.  I had 3 papio hit and shake off the hook.  Hopefully when the larger papio come into the shallows, they’ll inhale the lure and get hooked well.  Still waiting for the oama school to seek shelter inside, bringing the larger predators with them.
