Joedodge Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Fishing a local nature preserve pond today was throwing a rattle trap which haven't had any luck on. Got a real good something on lol. It stayed close to the bottom I never got it to the surface water is dark and about 3-5 foot deep. Fought a few mins then it went up under the Boardwalk and popped the hooks. So mad lol. Idk of it was a bass, or catfish or carp or what Quote

Joedodge Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 It does it would be different if I saw it jump or something im ok with loosing those ones lol. I really thought I finally got a hog. Al, I've been able to catch is 1-3 pound max fish lol Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted January 30, 2015 Super User Posted January 30, 2015 Probably would have beat Manabu Kurita's fish. 2 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted January 30, 2015 Super User Posted January 30, 2015 That stinks. I have had that happen a couple of times around brush piles. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted January 30, 2015 Super User Posted January 30, 2015 Carp are usually snagged , stay on the bottom and make long , strong runs. Large Channels and flatheads also stay on the bottom, will often hit a rattling crankbait hard and fight steadily , with slow pulsating pulls on the rod. Blue Cats will spin in circles and you will end up with a lot of slime on your line . 1 Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted January 30, 2015 Super User Posted January 30, 2015 I hate when that happens. I remember the first "big' one that got away. I didn't fight it correctly and he threw my trap. He wasn't that big, probably 2 1/2, but it broke my heart! Quote
Thornback Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Anything I don't see that "cuts" my #40 braid or spits my hook I always say is a mudfish or a pickerel. I can't remember the last time I lost a bass Quote
Joedodge Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 From what everyone's saying I had a catfish lol. They are in the one pond I fish alot Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 1, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 1, 2015 Any bowfin in the pond? I know there's some down that way and they'll eat a bait and pull like crazy. 1 Quote
Joedodge Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 Ok after fishing the same pond today I figured out what it was. Since the sun was out that thing is loaded with plecostamus ( fish tank sucker fish) lol I snagged another one today on accident! Ugh 1 Quote
