Or better yet... GPS coordinates to where you were? Lets get this place packed so no fish is without a sounder in their mouth! ha

i havent caught but have witnessed first hand at hortonia, my buddy was setting up his jacks and we believe a bullhead was taking his sounders. never landed them but was quite entertaining!
its easier to beg forgiveness than to ask permission... FISH ON!!!

Two rockbass on strike indicator last summer on fly rod. The pheasant nymph looked better to me.

Bobby: You should send Capt'n Joe a PM and let him know so he can try using a sounder on the slammer perch over on Bomo! ;D ;D

Since I started putting blades and beads on my leaders I usually catch a pike on a sounder every other year or so.  It's nice when the sounder comes back, usually doesn't.

Seen lakers do that a couple of times on Champlain.   Pretty cool when it happens.
