When your3rd cast brings in the same fish you released earlier. Same 2 tiny red dots in the same part of the Jaw.

Fish eat twice a day. Right before I get to the lake and right after I leave. ?

Simple. They were always hungry yesterday (you shoulda been there).

They're only hungry when my buddy is fishing and I'm not.

 

Seriously, my brother and I once caught the same fish within 30 minutes of each other.  Of course, mine was bigger since he was caught 2nd and had obviously just eaten.

When you are at the right place, right time with the right lure.

Lol. It's a good one. I got it from a guy I ran into at the lake last spring.

I fished with a guide two days in FL a couple years ago. I caught the same bass a couple times. It was clearly the same one because it was shaped like a "?" and looked like it had one fin in the grave and another on a banana peel. I told the guide to keep it. He asked why and I said it was obviously trying to end it all.

Thank you Billy.    Wife loved the logic.   ?
