Super User Bankbeater Posted June 14, 2015 Super User Posted June 14, 2015 Yesterday I was fishing a lake with a lot of vegetation growing in it. So I am throwing a 1/4 ounce Mann's 1 minus, and working it around the weed lines. I cast out maybe 50 or 60 feet and I feel a thump like a bite, but I have nothing pulling on the other end, so I am thinking that I hit the top of some plant. I get the crankbait where I can see it, and there is a bass about 8" long on the back hook. The crankbait was wobbling just like there was nothing on it, and the little bass was getting whipped back and forth by the motion of the lure. The whole thing looked like a big swimbait. 3 Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted June 14, 2015 Super User Posted June 14, 2015 that is awesome. I know i have had a small brookie on my fly when doing my back cast. 3 Quote

Super User Bankbeater Posted June 15, 2015 Author Super User Posted June 15, 2015 Little bass fell off before I could get it into the boat. Hopefully that bass will grow up to be a hawg. Quote
jbarlowgd Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Had something similar happen a few weeks ago on a spinner in hydrilla. I felt a light bump but thought I had just gone through some grass and didn't feel anything on the reel up. Ended up being the smallest fish ever caught on a half ounce spinner bait! My partner got a picture of it so I'll see if I can find it and post it. Quote
MrE1979 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Here's one for you. Out night fishin for bass and this guy wanted to get into the fray. Though I hit some hydrilla so I gave it a tug. Never thought I'd see this. Happened a week later also. 1 Quote
