I have never seen this before…

We were out on ML a few weeks ago when I felt a big strike

Ok…actually I didn’t feel anything, but I have never done this before….kind of strange

I’ve got footage of that very same thing in the DVD we’re working on. I’ve done it several times with perch but in this instance it was a small shiner.

Braided line is wonderful stuff… I could feel that the plug was running funny instantly.

Pretty cool shot. Thanks for sharing.

my dad caught a catfish that was the same length as his shad rap last spring.
He caught his by the mouth tho.

What was that fish thinking???

I’ve had a few strange snags/catches this fall. The first was a tulibee hooked square in the middle of the back. The second was a 24″ walleye hooked in the top of the head. Not sure if the walleye was in the wrong place at the wrong time or it somehow missed the rap that bad that it hooked itself in the back of the head?

Same thing happened in my boat 3 times this year with small perch and 2 times with crayfish.

Nice Pic Rocky.

So was the fish just in the wrong place at the wrong time or was it actually so called going after the lure?

Wrong place. Wrong time. Some of the clouds of perch we got on camera up there were incredibly thick. I can see how these little buggers could get hooked up fairly easily. We also see the same thing on Pool 4 with the shad in the fall when a crank cast to rip rap hangs a shad or two often enough to actually start to frustrate a guy a little bit.

Thats what I figured…Thanks James
