[quote fishgiver]How do you keep the lines from tangling when a fish is hooked on one line and the other one is stilling in the water?[/quote]
That's great and specific advice from TD!
"It depends" is right on, but my generic advice would be to:
-set the pole holders to keep the lines as far apart as possible before the strike occurs or keep one pole in your hands if the action gets fierce.
-set the drag carefully and move so to keep tension on one line while controlling/retrieving the other line.
-retrieve and deal with the line having the smallest fish or no fish first, while moving away from the other. The faster you can do it the better.
I sometimes get 2 fish on separate poles while trolling through feeding schools. and sometimes even 2 fish on different hooks of the same lure.
What to do if you get 2 very large & powerful fish (20+ lbs) at the same time? I concentrate on not getting my tube punctured by fish barbs or lure hooks. That means using a gaff for me, what do you guys do?
