So, I was fishing with my father on Lake Freeman around 6 years ago and we were fishing for catfish. We were in about 15 feet of water when I felt something pull on my line a little bit. I let the bait sit for a few seconds to see if I could get another bite. Nothing happened, being only 12 at the time I didn't know that I should reel it back in and check my bait. I left the bait in the water. About 4 hours pass and it's time to pack up. At this point we have been on the water since 6am(It was around 2pm). So, I reel in my bait and the line starts going crazy. My father yells "You got a fish!" I didn't believe him and said "You don't know what you're talking about." Typical response from a young "know it all" kid LOL. Anyways, I reel in my bait and behold a 1.2lb Bluegill was on my stinkbait. The bait was gone but the hook was past the gills of the fish. Just thought I would share this story with all of you!I have caught fish on bait that they weren't suppose to be caught on.
