How often do you double up on one lure? 2024
Gangley reply :
Until this afternoon, I have never had two fish get hooked onto my lure at the same time. However, not only did i get two fish on the same lure at the same time, but within 5 casts later I had it happen again, it was WILD! Just wondering how often it happens that two fish hookup on the same lure at the same time, and if anybody has ever had a "Double-Double" like I did today?
gobig reply :
On swimbaits I know of people who have had two DD's at the same time. 
I have had it happen with smaller fish a few times.
frogtog reply :
Very often on top water.

How about NEVER and that's in 40 years of fishing.

Same here.

I have hooked two fish on the same crankbait twice over the years. Both times one came unbuttoned at the boat. The first time both fish were in the 15-16" range. The last time they were both dinks.
Gangley reply :
that was my second double. the smaller fish went 2.33 and i tossed the larger before realizing that I hadnt weighed it as well, but he was about the same size as the other, just a hair larger
tommy reply :
ive done it 4 times in the last year....
3 of them on topwater...
last week a 5 and a 3 pounder on a dd22....

Sammy's/Jimmy's
Lipless cranks
Deep Cranks
Xraps/Pointers
always on trebles never on a single hook, tho one of my partners did.
John M reply :
Been awhile, early eighties, use to fish a creek of a big lake ,found an area stacked with fish, at a section where an arm previously branched off the creek and then the arm returned to the creek. The Old BOMBER LONG A would work its magic. Would have a double occur at least once a day. But this was an area that gave up numerous fish. Was preseason and underwater sloping point 3-12ft. Of course it was catch and release as always.
fishfordollars reply :
Rarely, it's happened maybe a half of dozen times over the years. A three on the rear treble and a four on the front treble years ago fishing a rogue on Rayburn. Has not happened in quiet a few years though.
Grey Wolf reply :
Never.
Boogey Man reply :
I've only had it happened once. It was on a
Storm Chug Bug.
Bankbeater reply :
I have never had it happen to me.
Goose52 reply :
Never for me ... and I do a lot of crankin'. BUT, I won't mind at all if it happens some day 
NateFollmer reply :
I hooked two minnows when I was using a Rapala Slashbait. I was surprised that I matched the hatch so well because they were the exact same size, color and shape as the lure I had on. I've never hooked 2 bass at once though

I find "often" far fetched and hard to believe. VERY often? All I can say is that you know how to fish topwater my friend! What are your favorite topwater lures?
.dsaavedra. reply :
never
Big Tom reply :
I agree with Dave. Never.
rat-l-trapper reply :
Never, but I'm hoping that will change this season.
flipinstick88 reply :
3 times in over 20 years of fishing. All the fish were 12 -18 inches, always on a pond with a Bandit crankbait. Always fun 
;D
Lucky Craft Man reply :
I had it happen twice on the same day.
The first time, I was using a jerkbait and while I made my last jerk by the boat, I saw a Largemouth come from the left and a smallmouth come from the right and they both hit the lure at the same time. I set the hook on them both. It was funny to watch, because the smallmouth dominated the fight with the largemouth looking like he was along for a ride.
Later that day, I felt a hit on the jerkbait, set the hook and then 2 seconds later felt what seemed like another hit. When I pulled it in, two largemouth were on the lure. I assume after the first LM hit, the second one tried taking the lure out of his mouth.
The funny thing is that I have been fishing for 23 years now and those are the only two time that has happened to me, which were within 2 hours of each other on the same day.
SJB1226 reply :
ive had it happen a few times on LC Sammys and a time or two on pointers but ive never had a double more then once in a day on the same "Single lure" and a few times on other hard jerk baits. and once on a rapala SR5 shad rap this time it was amazing both fish were 4-5# fish...... they was both little monsters! by # I dont mean pounds I mean Oz's lol they are tiny little guys lol They was so small in fact there was no way either one could have ate a real bait fish even close to that size and im pretty sure thats why it was a double!! they probably was brothers and used to catching one big minnow together and sharing it! lolol 
;D ;D
Now ive caught MANY doubles on a double fluke rig when small bass are schooling and busting shad on top... Ide say on that rig ive had as many as 10 doubles in a day

X3. It has happened a lot to Timmy Horton on the Elite Series while he was fishing a deep diving crankbait.
Fishing Cowgirl reply :
Yesterday I doubled up twice during the police/firefighter games tournament. First time I had a keeper 14.5" and a short 13', both on a crank bait no bigger than my thumb. When I got them to the surface, I saw one was swimming upside down. Fortunately the keeper unhooked itself in the net. That was my irst time ever doubling up on a lure.
The second time was about an hour later, with two little dinks, but I told my husband to get a photo regardless of how little they were.

Do these guys count? haha
Taylor Fishin 4 life reply :

They sure do.
zach t reply :
Last week on a Pop-R.
Fish went 4.5 and 3.5 respectivly. Straightened both hooks out.
flyboy reply :
When I was a kid, so young I can't recall my age, I caught two speckled trout on some sort of lip-less crank bait in North Bay near Lynn Haven, FL. About two months ago I caught two small bass on a Model A on a private lake southeast of Orlando. The two events were around fifty years apart. I have a buddy that claims he caught two on a worm. The worm went out the gill of the first fish and the second fish picked it up. I didn't witness that feat.
kms399 reply :
I was out a couple weeks ago and caught a little 1 lb bass and while I let my son play the fish at the boat another 1 1/2 or 2 lb bass came up and tried two or three times to grab the lure from the smaller one. this was like 5 feet from the boat. never did hook the other one though.
jignfule reply :
not yet
Jacob Robinson reply :
Ive done it probably 3 times with crankbaits. I have doubled up tons of times on a double fluke rig.
Stiller reply :
Never had it happen, although I've seen one bass trying to steal the plastic worm trailing from a hooked fish's mouth on at least 3 occasions. A second hook might have produced a double.
I guessed it was due to our pond being overstocked and low on forage.
Jacob Robinson reply :
QuoteI guessed it was due to our pond being overstocked and low on forage.
That doesnt mean there isnt enough forage. That just means that they were really aggressive that day. I mean there could be some sort of competition there but i bet your pond has plenty for them to eat.
