Only a little "strange" But in a fun way...
My friend and I were bank fishing Strawberry a long time ago, around the time Powerbait first came out, We set up about 50 or 60 yards from the only guy on this part of the shore. We were useing the orignal powerbait and started to catch a few right away, by the time we had landed 2 or 3 the old guy down the shore had moved into about 20 yards from us. Got 2 more in about 10 minutes and the old guy moved even closer. We had been munching on some cinnimon gummy bears, and had the bag of candy on top of the tackle box. The old timer finaly walked over and said hello and asked what we were useing, With a straight face my friend said "Cinnimon gummy bears!" The look on the guys face was priceless!!! Kind of shocked, or dumbfounded... He he said right back without missing a beat, "Could I buy a hand full of them from you!" We both bust out laughing and about fell over! We told him we were sorry for the joke and told him the truth, that it was "That new stuff called powerbait" and gave him the rest of the bottle we were useing and showed him how we were rigging it... He fished with us the rest of the day and caught a limit of fatties and we all couldn't stop laughing about the Gummy Bears!!! He was a good sport and a super nice guy! It was one of the best ways I ever met a new fishing buddy! [laugh]
