Slow day that ended with a great story

[BassinAssassin171]

Well Hudson, Robert, Joe, and I headed down to the old honey hole once again this morning. It was freezing (for a Georgia boy in a t-shirt and shorts) and fog was rolling off the lake when we got there. We only got one bass from the dock this time, a good 5lb. 13oz. caught by Hudson. Robert swung on a jig bass and his line snapped at a knick near his rod tip. The day was really slow... the bass wouldn't commit or they would take it and spit it out before I even knew what had happened. I missed a good many and only boated two small ones. We fished till about noon without much luck and headed back to the shade of the dock. Bass began busting on the top after a while and we started jigging off the end of the dock. Joe had one hooked after dropping his jig straight down, but it got off. I made a lazy cast to the side of the dock and was reeling in when I felt my jig get heavier. I knew it wasn't a fish, and when I pulled my jig up it was wrapped in somebody else's fishing line. I grabbed the line in my hands and began to tug. "What if there were a fish on this line?" I mused as I pulled up the slack. Suddenly I felt a weight at the end of the line and it began moving ! I pulled up the bass quickly and lipped it, realizing that on the end of the line and now stuck deep in the bass's throat was Robert's jig from earlier that morning ;D! The bass went 4lbs. 11oz. on the digi, and we all talked about how unlikely it was that I snagged that bass in a different spot than where it had been hooked 8-)

You can see Robert's jig's skirt at the back of the bass's thoat in this picture (don't worry, I removed the lure, and the bass swam away safely)

Goes to show color does not always matter, but checking your line for nics does ;D

[BassinAssassin171]

i don't really see how that shows the color thing... but the line definitely

it broke three times  > i fail

and my jig was an evo jig and im sure treys was just a jig with a week guard which he put our top secret skirts on  

[Rob.Atl]

well the bass ate two different colored jigs.....so yea think about his post again k  

[BassinAssassin171]

ummm no it didnt.  I snagged the line, not the fish, remember?

[paul.]

he put our top secret skirts on  

rob, i'll pretend i didn't read that.   ;D

j/k of course.

[BassinAssassin171]

hahaha wow Paul, didn't even catch that one.  Only you would comment on that  ;D

[Castamasta]

funny funny. and yeah he snagged the line not the fish. so the color idea is majorly flawed.
