Check those hooks!!!

 

Went out yesterday for three hours, weather 36*, water temp 38/39*. Quickly caught 17" LM on ned rig just letting it sit on bottom then lost ned rig 30 min later on snag, for the next couple hours very slow, couldn't find fish on graph and nothing worked. 

 

For last hour had one bite and maybe another but lost both, when I finally shut it down and went to put Ned Rig hook in keeper I noticed hook was almost straight, about an hour earlier I was able to muscle it off a branch but sadly and stupidly did not check hook....

It will happen to all of us, sooner or later.

 

Way too cold last week to go fishing.

 

Understand that this coming week will have warmer air temperatures.
