Got hit pretty quick and a good size over into the net. Somehow I turned around to look into the back of the boat and out he jumped out. Next spot yielded a 30" that I was careful to make sure was in the net when I hoisted it up and in. Caught a couple more overs that were released, and lost 2 boatside. One fish stole a spot without getting hooked. I had one spot left to catch an under. He got picked up but the float got tangled and the rock dropped him. Being the last spot, I put him back over. He got hit and took off. Fought the fish within eyesight and the rock "threw" the fish back at me, with the hook embedded in the spot. After two catches with the same spot, I figured he had enough. Where are the unders, when you want them?

Like my response to Marty's breaking fish post. The fish seem to be feeding aggressively but getting a good hook set seemed to be a problem.
