I see that the taxman found you too!

Nice catch.
Thanks, When a double occurs the two fish normally fight each other, so it feels heavy, but generally pulls less drag, and is highly susceptible to getting hit by a shark. A good percentage of doubles never make it to the surface. With the Almacos, about halfway up the kayak started getting towed by the shark. I am surprised the hooks did not rip out.

Two for the price of one! The fight of the 1 bigger blackfin would have been more challenging as it would have taken longer runs, and frequently race up fast requiring quick winding. With the double, it felt heavy, but had less movement, and was just a steady wind up.

I created an album of doubleheaders, most are while speed jigging because slow pitch jigging is still relatively new for me.
