 Two fish on one hookFrom: Anthony Dunster-Jones A few years ago we were having a few wines whilst enjoying a home cooked meal with my brother-in-law and his wife. We, the guys, got to talking fishing and my brother-in-law Nev proceeded to tell me a tale of a trip him and a mate had to Eucumbene in the early 1980s. Nev and Dooley were fishing this bank late one evening with mudeyes. Nev was getting fish on a constant basis and Dooley being a co-operative sort of a bloke was dutifully netting Nev's fish. It went on like this for an hour or so, and Dooley was beginning to get rather cheesed off, as at this stage he had not even lost a bait. Eventually Dooley had a run, line was disapperaing off his reel at a great rate of knots. So he hooked into the fish, and what a fish it felt like. Nev was standing by with the net, and after about ten minutes the fish was splashing in the shallows, now as they were fishing in the dark with only a torch for light, nothing seemed out of place. Until Dooley went to unhook the fish. There was no float and no hook, the line was wrapped around and around the trout's head. So Dooley unwrapped the line and began to wind in the excess, when low and behold his line came up solid against something. After another 5 minute fight, and in the torch light, Dooley could see both his bubble float and another trout, this one with the hook firmly planted in its mouth. So there you have it, 2 fish on the one line at the one time BUT with only one hook. This may seem a tall tale but it is TRUE!!! Cheers, Anthony. (1 December 2003) |
