It was pouring rain, and I threw a buzzbait across the pond to a sunken laydown. It hit the water, and it was raining so hard that I didn't see any commotion or attack. It just disappeared and my rod doubled over. This was about a month after I'd caught my pb of 7.12 in this same pond. Pretty sure it was the same fish. It fought me for about three minutes, then came up and jumped, and my buzzbait came flying back at me. Pretty dang disappointing. I got a good look at it and it was easily in the 7-8 pound range.
