Bass Doubleheaders on Crankbaits
Hey AZwalleye, that reminds me of an October afternoon I took my son out on Lake Okeechobee. (We lived on the water and had 1 minute boat access to Lake Okeechobee). The skies were threatening rain and the wind was blowing into our faces. 3-4 foot waves had built up from traveling 30-40 miles of open lake. Fortunately the LMB were up on the flats facing into the wind and they were very active. We put up with the waves and caught 13 bass weighing 35 pounds in about an hour. We had 3 doubles, chunky 2-4 lb. bass on each treble hook. Twice one of the bass came off (it was tough to net them both) but my son did boat one double. He was only about 13-14 years old at the time but he still outfished me 7 to 6. It was getting even rougher so we headed on home, but it was a great time on the water however short.
