Went back to Minter for the second time ever. The first time was too early and they werent in yet. There was a decent amount of people fishing, but it wasnt too difficult to find a spot. The first two I hooked into snapped my 15 pound leader. I was amazed at the strength of these fish. After awhile, I caught my first one and it was a buck. It was purple and green with canine teeth. Punched in the punch card and tried to catch more. The rest of the day I had one spit the hook at the bank and also caught one hen.
Everyone had good behavior and were friendly. The foul hooked ones were also all released from what I could see.
My partner used bobber and jig tipped with shrimp. She had some take downs but the hook didnt set. She only fought one foul hook chum that was hooked in the back.
