[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 3030577, member: 15527"] I had asked you about this one before. It is a Lowrance HDS-12 Gen 3 and it is an amazing piece of equipment. I don't know about the low oxygen content at the deeper holes, but I will have to say that those bigger fish that were caught in 60+ feet of water were very fat and healthy! I also rembered to bring them up s-l-o-w and it was still fascinating to watch all those bubbles come to the surface when they burped... One story from my trip. I'm fishing out of my little 10 ft. Pelican boat Sunday morning at around 5 am.. I have three large fish that are just a couple of feet off the bottom, which was 92 feet deep, so the fish were at around 88 feet deep. I drop a line off each side of the boat, and put the rod's in the boat's rod holders. Both baits are one to two feet off the bottom. I'm watching and studying the fish finder, and a few minutes later, the rod on the right side doubles over. I wait a good ten seconds and figure the fish has hooked itself. What felt like a cement block coming to the surface, was one of the 59 lb. blue cats. After getting it in the boat and taking measurements of it, I slipped it back into the water. While I was resting from that battle, SOMETHING hit the rod in the other holder! I stood up to grab the rod and I thought my boat was going to tip over! My 9 ft. rod tip was touching the water and I could not get it out of the holder. The rod started cracking and instead of taking a chance of losing both the fish and rod, I used my fillet knife to cut the line and as soon as I did, the rod snapped back and busted in three pieces. After recovering from the shock of everything that happened so fast, I could only speculate on what I was hooked into! A giant catfish? A very large spoonbill that somehow got hooked in the tail? Or what??? Regardless, this was the fishing trip of a lifetime, and after getting caught up on some much needed rest, I'm thinking October would be a good time to go fishing again. Only this time, I won't push my self to the limit and take things not quite so seriously... Maybe I can try Lake Keystone and see what happens there... On the jugs, I still don't know why I didn't catch a single fish off them, and I was very disapointed because of that.
