TroutRinger Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 darn! Where were you fishing? I've only had this happen to me once with two largemouth, both under 15".

timinmo Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 I guess I have had a few. The biggest were two smallies in Canada on a topwater lure. Both were about 2 1/2 pounds. The most recent was during Operation Clean Stream on the Bourbeuse. Again on topwater one pumpkinseed and about a 10 inch smallmouth. A friend caught two on the Big River, one spot and one smallie. It always seems to me the spring or the fall is time most likely for it to happen. Can not remember many during the summer but can't prove that.

rps Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 I have had several doubles. All were on topwater or trolled baits. None would have rivaled the twin 2.5's timinmo wrote about. timinmo 1
Al Agnew Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 I had eight doubles on in the last few trips I fished for smallmouth, though I only ended up boating one of them. One on a Big River float, five on my secret creek float, two up in the North Country. Those two were big fish, probably all over three pounds. Biggest doubles I ever had on, I didn't get both of them but got the bigger of the two, or at least the tie for the bigger. Both were many years ago. One was when I caught one of the only two five pound smallmouth I've caught in the Ozarks. I hooked an 18 inch class smallie first, then the big one got on, I fought both of them for several minutes, and then the smaller one got loose and I landed the big one. The other was fishing a local lake with a big crankbait, and had two largemouth on at the same time that were each better than six pounds. They looked identical in the water. I finally lost one of them right at the boat. The other weighed, as I said, over 6 pounds.
Al Agnew Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Just to mention...doubles are fairly common when fishing Ozark streams in the summer, IF you are using lures with at least two treble hooks. A lot of guys never catch a double because they so seldom use lures with such hooks.
