We too had the same experience Saturday morning mid lake. However, we didn’t land anything. The fist 5-30 minutes of the day was insane. We had lines going off everywhere. Down lines, planners and free lines. Trout, gizzards, and BB’s equally. Then hours of boredom. Finally around 3:00 we hooked one on a split shot free lines. I’ve always thought “bs” to myself when people say stripers jump. But this fish jumped twice. Thrashing the gill plates like a little tarpon. It was pretty gnarly and made the tough day worth it.
Tarpon...really? Ill be sure to remember this when I hear you and Nicky 'catching' fish
