2 people 1 fish!

[Guest]

Has this ever happen to you? Me and my fishing buddy were fishing the north end last week during the day. We were slip bobber fishing. We had just said something to the fact that we had not got a double when both bobbers went down. The point to the story is we both caught the same walleye(a 24"). Its not like we were fishing next to each other, we were about 25ft. apart. Neither was snaged.

I have only had that happen once in my life, and it will probably be the only time. Only I was Ice fishing about ten feet away from my buddy. We had a hard time deciding who should let out the slack so that the other could reel it in. The interesting thing is that I was also on Mille lacs when it happened.

How 'bout the other way around? One line with two fish on? My daughter was working a plastic worm with a hook in the head and a hook in the tail (fishing from shore on a little pond just outside of Bismark, ND). She had reeled a bass about half way in when all of a sudden the drag just began to sing. I tightened it up a little and she pulled in two bass on the same worm.

This is a very "timely" thread for me. We hit Mille Lacs on Saturday. We witnessed a boat get what appeared to be a double on Saturday. The two fish turned out to be 1 fish when it got to the surface. It had taken both leeches in one pass. We marveled at that and commented how hungry the fish must be.

Then, a little while later - we had the same thing happen in our boat. So we ended up seeing this twice in one day!!

I saw this two weeks ago while bobber fishing. One fish took my crawler and then took a leech 4 feet away. We set the lines thinking a double and it was one fish. We laughed our butts off.

This happened last Friday morning. But me and buddy are still argueing over who's fish it was. I set the hook first so I think it was mine. Just kidding, but it was a nice 24" fish.

I've had both those things happen to me.

While fishing Mille Lacs two weeks ago my brother-in-law and I set the fish on a double. Turned out to be the same fish. Since we are both rather competitive, we are still arguing over who should get credit for boating the fish.

Three years ago while trolling a crawler harness on Curlys, I felt a tap so I gave it some line and set the hook. On the first hook was a small perch and on the second hook was a small walleye. Since I was fishing alone, I dropped it into my live well and headed to shore to show my wife. I thought it was pretty neat and she just said "That's nice" and went back to her sun tanning.
