Had a great day out there yesterday with Marty, Mike and Dan. Those same Tony 15s caught a 27" and a 30" fish this past Thurs so my gut tells me we lost 2 nice fish. The one we lost while reeling to the boat was probably the smaller of the two. But the other one was a quick hit, hook straightened and goodbye....that was maybe a summer time bubba. Who knows, the ones that got away are always the ones that coulda made the difference in our minds. That's my story and I am sticking to it. Those Tonys are great lures, but the size 15, as made now, is not for trolling and there are no stronger replacement hooks made that will fit it and allow it to swim as intended. Time to invest in a bunch of replacement drones.
Marty, I don't know where I got the energy but I had the boat and gear washed, cleaned and put away before dark last night.
