It was a pleasure meeting my Korean, Vietnam Veterans, other veterans and first responders and taking them fishing. We had a great time and live bait rigging and drop shots produced all of our fish using Daiichi Bleeding Bait circle hooks with suckers and Octopus hooks for drop shots has been the best this year.
