Not on that cast Pat. We just barely hook (less than 1/8") into the fish. They have to be carefully casted or the fish will be tear where hooked. So in trying to get the fish away from the turtle, his hook tore through.

But it may be that he caught one of those two fish on a later cast. We were using 2" to 3" BG and an ultra light. The hook was a fly hook in size 10. It's too small really but most of the time we hook up. It requires tearing the hook out of the BG when setting the hook and almost always sets in the lip. Takes patience. The fish must be completely taken in its mouth and the LMB needs to be facing some direction other than facing directly to successfully get a hook set. He catches about 60-70% of his takes which I think is pretty good.
