When I was young my dad and I would go to the lake and fish together...many funnies go along with that but this day in particular was years ago when I was about 15 maybe...we stopped along the way at a tackle shop and they had just received their first order of snag-proof topwater frogs...i harrassed my dad into buying one for 5 dollars and he bout had a fit at the cost per frog. I assured him that would be the ticket for him so off we went...an hour later we pulled the boat into position outside of a nice circle of lily pads and sat for a moment...he tied on his new frog and tossed it out into the lilies...layed down his rod...and proceeded to put a big nasty chew in his cheek...Red Man chew was our little fishing thing...it was nasty but we teased the spit juice in the water would attract the fish...hahahaha...oh the good ole days...so anyway as he was putting in his chew we hear a giant WHHHHOPPPP!!! we both looked out and there was a great big hole in the lilies where his frog " HAD " been...he reels up his line and finds it cut by what I assumed was a Northern Pike...he was like "what the hell??? What the???...Ohhh...Damnit!!" Hahahaha..I told him the frog "WAS" the ticket and we both had a great laugh...please share a great story as fishing has slowed a bit and I loveeee to read them...Thanks
