Super User WIGuide Posted July 17, 2015 Super User Posted July 17, 2015 So I was out fishing some fish cribs on a lake I had never fished before the other day. I had lost 1 bass and had another one rip my creature bait off on back to back casts. I decided to change my profile a bit and threw on an old jelly worm and quickly fired my bait back out there. As I'm letting it sink to the bottom, my line starts moving sideways, so I reel down and set the hook. I expected to feel some resistance from a bass, but instead my weight and worm came up to the surface and I saw my bait with something small skip across the surface. Thinking I just lost a little fish I reeled up quickly and my line came up to the top basically skiing across the surface. I flip it in and this is what I found. https://www.facebook.com/michael.mudgett.9/videos/10205895800746620/?l=4804262720545942785 4 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted July 17, 2015 Super User Posted July 17, 2015 LOL that is odd. I once lassoed a crappie . The hook went around it and snagged the line and pulled tight . Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted July 17, 2015 Super User Posted July 17, 2015 That's a little wacky ~ It's like he went for a little ride on the jelly worm express . . . . A-Jay 2 Quote
CeeJay Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 You just might have come up with a new way to catch bluegill I wonder if it was trying to attack your bait or just happened to swim between the gap...very odd but cool. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted July 17, 2015 Author Super User Posted July 17, 2015 LOL that is odd. I once lassoed a crappie . The hook went around it and snagged the line and pulled tight . My girlfriends biggest northern was somewhat lassoed. It blew up on a frog and took it down head first, the line ran through the mouth and hooked around the jaw hinge where it extends past the joint. Both hooks were pulled up tight on the front of the mouth and keeping the line tight kept it locked on. Also, did it with a northern a few years ago. I was flipping a small grass mat and it hit the weight which wasn't pegged. Line went through the mouth and the hook had caught the line coming out the other side of the mouth and both sides had hooked around the jaw bone. Crazy stuff but this was definitely a new one! 1 Quote

Yeah, it's the ol' trap'em in the gap pattern! 0.00000000000001% of the time it works EVERY time haha. 3 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted July 17, 2015 Super User Posted July 17, 2015 Yep.... That won't happen again. Just like my son when he was little, he spun a penny and when it stopped spinning it stayed upright. Never will we see that again. 4 Quote
poisonokie Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 it's crazy the things you snag sometimes. Just in the past year I caught a huge frog (on a frog), a big pearl mussel, a diamond back water snake, 3 snapping turtles, a soft-shell turtle, a catfish on a wacky Senko, and a gar on a spook. 2 Quote
mackroper Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I had a 5lb channel cat go for a topwater frog. It missed, bit my line, started rolling on top of the water and I reeled her in with about ten wraps of line around her, lure hanging past her tail. 2 Quote

Just like my son when he was little, he spun a penny and when it stopped spinning it stayed upright. Never will we see that again. That's awesome! Sounds kind of like the time I took a free throw and it bounced straight up off the back of the rim and bounced about 3-4 more times and it came to rest right on the flat spot on the back of the rim.

Now that would have been very cool see!! LOL!! Quote
G8RBob Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I once pulled in a nice bass to find that the hook had entered through his gills, out his mouth, and hooked his lip. Strange but true. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 18, 2015 Global Moderator Posted July 18, 2015 That's crazy! I caught a bass once on a T rig that the hook bend had wedged against it's bottom jaw and the hook eye was wedged against the roof of it's mouth, propping it's mouth open but it didn't have the slightest bit of the hook stuck in it. 2 Quote
HeartlandBassin Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Today while i was fishing an old farm pond with some big bass in it i was using a craw colored crankbait and felt a bump so i lightly set the hook and started pulling dead weight, so i thought i had caught a stick or something but as i got it close to the bank it started pulling. it ended up being a big snapping turtle luckly he came unhooked without me having to remove the bait, he was actually hooked in the mouth too so i guess that crankbait looked appetizing lol.
