DeadEyeDavey Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 So over this past summer I got big into topwaters. One night at a campground I was tossing out a skitter pop (I found it in a tree earlier that day, same spot actually) and every once in while I could get a hit by making it walk the dog. Well after many hours (3) with no hook ups I was about to call it quits, when over at the Karaoke contest I heard somebody start singing the cha-cha slide. Being a creative guy I thought to myself "why don't I make my lure do the moves to the song" and to the best of my ability I did. Sure enough, when I got to the second "criss-cross" and paused I heard an Explosion from the water then another loud crash. next thing I know I'm hooked into this big ol fish and I must have fought it for 10-15 minutes, got it five feet from shore (too dark to see what it was) and the line went limp and my skitter pop shot out of the water. Lesson to be learned: walking the dog has nothing on the cha-cha slide. 1 Quote
flipin4bass Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Nice, but I found my skitter pop two step to be effective also. Quote

DeadEyeDavey Posted March 10, 2013 Author Posted March 10, 2013 Try doing 3 steps with your skitter pop. I don't know if I'd be able to do the harlem shake with my pole, it's still recovering from teaching it how to dougy 1 Quote
DeadEyeDavey Posted March 10, 2013 Author Posted March 10, 2013 You mean get it to do flips and spin on it's head Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted March 10, 2013 Super User Posted March 10, 2013 Laugh all you want.......but I have had some great days topwater fishing when I have my I-pod headphones in my ear, and make my bait walk, spit, chug, and move to the beat of whatever song is on...................but then again I have had great days not doing that too. I do tend to put the headphones on when the fishing is frustrating me, and I need to "relax" before I go "Ike" on things in my boat. So I think it calms me down and lets me regain my focus more than anything else. Quote
DeadEyeDavey Posted March 10, 2013 Author Posted March 10, 2013 My story was 100% true, I wanted to see how many people would take it seriously. Quote
