Certainly two of the better Smallies of the day if not the best two.
They hit like a freight train. I was fairly sure it was a decent Striper on the other end of the line. Go figure Madi was behind the boat cooling off on a swim so I was on my own. It was a mad mind scramble on how to get them in. I wanted the picture! I've had doubles come off at the boat before so I knew speed was critical and not to let them jump. So I skipped the net and grabbed the line when I got them close to the surface and in one quick and fluid motion into the boat before even a wiggle out of either.
Where I was at when I caught the double would be a 50/50 decision on the launch ramp... Launch from Callville or Echo.
