I was plunking the Green River with a spin-n-glo/sandshrimp combo when I got a violent takedown and then nothing. I waited a couple of minutes and decided to reel in thinking my bait got stolen. I reeled in five feet of line and stopped to pick a weed off my mainline. Then I started reeling in again and got slammed while the pyramid sinker was slowly ticking the bottom. Ever since, I always slow-retrieve my rig in when checking bait or after I get nibbled.
