I have got to say good on ya for back to back kick butt days on a very difficult fishery!!
As for the "why" the fish hit that set up. Well you will have to ask the fish gods that question. But the truth is fish will often hit a very different presentation, just because it is different!
The squidies everyone uses for kokes at Flaming Gorge we never used before the mid 90's. Or so the story goes, that some guy just got back from AK and had squidies in his tackle box. Was not having any luck with anything else, so he put one on. Next thing you know he brags about it, and after some time everyone finds out and starts using that gear. That is the story that Flaming Gorge Lodge told us when we recognized the squidies from our first trips to AK, on their board of what to use.
