My friend and I both pitched a drop shot at a dock, and hooked up simultaneously. Then the fish jumped, and it turned out that our lines were just crossed. Wrong! The fish ate both baits! Has this happened to anyone else?

(Took place at a power plant lake yesterday)

So whose fish is it?

 

Yes it has happened to me before.

 

A co-worker buddy and I were fishing a small pond which was really the deep hole left over from a lake that was drying up. I was on one side and he was on the other.

 

We were both using live shiners and we both cast out towards the middle of the pond, I cast a little to my left and he cast to the center. About the time he was hollering he had one on, my line was moving out too. And it soon became clear we were both hooked into the same fish!

 

I let my line out and let him try and land the fish and he played idiot for a second and tried to crane the bass in and his line snapped. (He tried lifting the bass out of the water like his rod was a crane) the fish dropped back into the water and for him it was gone! Oh well, not to worry dummy on the other shore, I'll get your hook back for ya! So it was my turn to reel in the same fish.

 

Needless to say it but I never heard the end of that one. The other guys at work made fun of us for years about us hooking into the same bass.

 

It does happen, but it is rare. A moment you'll never forget! Just don't tell anyone- but you already did!

Speaking of eating both baits...

 

A few months ago I was out on a lake and caught a schooling bass hitting on baitfish with a Rapala minnow lure and when I got that bass to the boat he had three baitfish still in his mouth. No telling how many fell out on the way to the boat. My lure was number 4 from what I could tell.

 

When they are hungry they are hungry!

Speaking of greedy bass....

Not eating both baits... but two bass on one crankbait:

Yeah, had it happen to a friend of mine & myself.  I felt a pickup on a jig, went to set the hook but nothing was there.  At the same time, by buddy hooked up on a crankbait.  I thought I snapped my line, I couldn't feel any weight no matter how much I reeled in.  As my friend boated the bass, he says 'hey, there is a jig in there", talking about the bass's mouth.  About that time, I finished reeling in, with my line leading to the same bass's mouth.

I caught a lingcod once that me and may dad both caught.

Heard of it happening, never seen it though. That's pretty crazy!

Two bass on one lure occurs now and then.  One bass eating two different lures is something I have never seen.  That is pretty wild. 

I've never seen that before.  That is wild.

Man that's awesome
