[cool]Man, that fish gets bigger every year. What made it so special was that your older brother had been "holding forth" all the way to the water that you should fish with something else...and not the crappie jig you had left tied on since our previous week's trip to Willard Bay. Since he didn't get ANYTHING on that trip, it really shut his mouth.
Bass are notorious for hitting wierd stuff at times. I have seen them caught on a glob of cheese, on hot dogs and on live garter snakes. But, I have also seen them turn up their noses at the latest favorite plastic baits too.
One of my favorite 'TRUE STORIES" happened this last year in Arizona. Two guys fishing in the same boat, on Showlow Lake, up in the White Mountains of Arizona, were fishing for different species. One was soaking Powerbait for the nice trout in the lake. The other was casting plastics for the plentiful walleye. You guessed it. The guy using Powerbait caught an 8 pound walleye...and they guy fishing plastics for walleye nailed a 5 pound rainbow.
Fish don't always read the same articles we do. They don't know they are supposed to only hit one certain bait or lure. That does make for some interesting catches.
