If I can offer a bit of advice: Why stick fish while prefishing the day
before a tourney? Doesn't make much sense. Shake em off or dont prefish.
Sticking em just lowers your chance of catching those bass during the
competition, and some theorize that it shakes up other bass in the area too.
Actually, one of them would not let go of the bait. I honestly tried and tried
to get him off. After a while, I said to heck with it and brought him in. The
other was my first bite of the day and the only hookset I planned. I gotta
catch at least one fish while I'm out ;-)
Seriously though, I seldom abuse fish prefishing. Just ask Andrew.
Good luck the rest of the way bud.
Thanks!
