He reeled down to the lure and poked it to free it. When it came off the stump a 5 pounder ate it. Man that was wild, but he caught it. I figure the fish was watching it and when it popped off it was all he could stand.it. What has surprised you?


Had basically same thing happen. Took rod and poked off down thru millfoil to see how shallow it was. came up with a 4.5# largemouth.

Another would be seeing a rabbit swim across a river.
