Yea Scott sometimes you just can't hide where you are. But I am devious enough to motor over to a particular spot just to take pictures of fish caught somewhere else.

Awesome fish guys. I do not have a pair unfortunately to show. When I catch my biggest ones the season is C&R only so i quickly release them all back.

I caught one, Jordon caught the other, but the pic is of him, taken by myself after our win on Erie:

I can't say for the other guys, but I am pretty sure that the pairs Dwight is holding are actually caught at the same time. I have caught several doubles drifting two lines (one rod in each hand). When you go through a pod of fish, many times both rods will get hit almost at the same time (or one right after the other). That's when you try to reel in the one that feels the heaviest first while holding your other rod under your arm or anywhere else. After the "heavier" one is in the net, fish two comes in. Hold both for a photo and off they go in the water and they never see a livewell or are out of the water for any length of time.

Excactly. On erie you can fish three rods in PA waters. So doubles do happen. And like Steve just mentioned when you get bit twice at almost the same time you have to decide which is biggest to reel in first. My second rod is in the rod holder with a looser drag hoping it will stay hooked up while I bring the first one in. Sometimes the 2nd one gets off. But sometimes you win both battles. Right A-Jay? Had a 6-12 & a 6-8 come in that way once. Sweet.

When it's right, doubles are a way of life on that fishery.
And when things are really going your way, sometimes that second, third or even fourth rod will load up.
And when the smoke clears and big mess is finally cleared out of the net you could be snapping shots of anything from obscenely large Smallmouth, to Steelhead, Lakers, Brown trout or even a pigged out Waldo ~

Not a big pair, but it's from my favorite place to fish in late May/early June. It's even more fun than Erie during that time frame. You won't get the size Erie offers, but it's non-stop action from some feisty river smallies.

This is all I have for this one. Earlier the same day I had about a 2lb. smallmouth and a 2 lb. largemouth hit my jerkbait at the same time from opposite directions right at the boat (It was cool to see). I hooked up with both, but that smallmouth took that largemouth for a ride and eventually the smallmouth came off and all there was left was a worn out and shocked largemouth.

PA has a trophy season before the regular season opens after spawning. During the trophy season you are allowed to keep one fish per day over 20" long. We simply put one in the livewell & wait to catch the second fish for a picture of a pair over 20". We release all smallies as I have never kept one. The only one I would keep would be a state record which requires weighing one a paper printout state certified scale like in a grocery or meat market.

Two buddies Drobny & Mackey & I hit the water today before the big blow coming tomorrow. Mackey's best pair of fish. The night before while playing poker & drinking beer his best pair was trips as a minimum. Needless to say he won most of the money.
Dwight Hottle reply :
Last pair of October 2014.

Dwight-
Smile!
Wait, you didn't get a 6 pounder, just those pesky 4's and 5's. I'd be disappointed too.

That's a pretty nice smallie for a young guy. I never caught a smallie that big until I was in my fifties. Congratulations.
Sam reply :
Oh, smallies.
I thought the thread was about something else.
Merry Christmas!

Sometimes the best pairs aren't the biggest two fish, but when you get to double up on Lake Erie smallies with a great friend! The big one measured 20" on the money and 4.4lbs.

The problem I can`t post any pics is because I shore fish.
Janderson45 reply :
Sometimes I think I'm getting better at this sport, then I see this thread.. LOL. I caught a 3lb smallmouth once (wachusett reservoir) and was stoked! Can't imagine bringing in fish like you guys do regularly on Erie... I'll have to get out there one day, looks like a dream! The lakers and walleye are awesome bonuses too...

A crankbait pair in 102 degree heat.
