Sorry this is a Bass story but hope you get at least a giggle! I was fishing Toledo bend in Texas with a buddy of mine. I was right at the end of a cast and had 11" of line out (yes inches not feet) and looked up to spot a new target to cast at. All of a sudden WHAM, just as as was lifting my lure a three pounder hit it. With lightning reflexes I set the hook, and HARD! I didnt even have time to think about it.So this poor fish flys straight up in the air to my right at about a 45 degree. The momentum carries the fish all the way around me and the fish slaps my buddy right in the back of neck with smack loud enuff to hear for a good 100' feet away. It was the funniest thing I ever saw(and heard) in my life time of fishing.
