Trolled for my fish hooked 3 before I landed my first fish . Fished till noon then decided to down size my baits .Hooked up within 5 minutes. Booth fish 27"-28". 65ft deep in 100+ foot of water. I should have figured it out sooner, the first fish I landed was hooked in the side of its face. Must have been just trying to stun it. The night before I slept on the lake and put out lights to see what was active. All the shad were in the 2"-3" range. So the 1/2 bucktail looked about right to them. Of course it could have been a coincidence and I'm way off base.But I'll stick to my story it makes me feel smart
