Why did it do this. I'm pretty sure it was protecting a bed because I saw many more in the 2 to 5 pound range on beds. But this one wasn't. I guess it was close to one. I had it on 2 times with a Rapala DT4 which I despise because it shook it twice by jumping out of the water. Then hooked up again with the same crankbait and shook it loose. I then tied on a strike king 1.5 and it swallowed it. Why did this bass hit it so many times. It also picked up a 6" hudd twice. It blew my mind.

Yesterday I was fishing a pond, and the water level was down a foot or so, just enough to see the beds. Generally it is a very murky lake, so I was fishing a Cordell Super Spot, in black and gold. Ran it over a huge bed, small bass went after it but missed. Tossed over it again, and a huge bass comes less than a foot away from the bank and swirls around it. Casted 5 more times, hooking it EVERY single time. Finally landed her on the last cast, came close to 5 pounds!

 

She must of been protecting her eggs, it was insane.

Sounds like it was protecting a bed, maybe you just didn't spot it. The biggest spot I ever caught was on a bed. I hooked her and fought her halfway up to the boat from 20' down when she popped off. Even though my worm was kinked up on the hook I held it in her face and shook it and she ate it again and I landed her from there. 

Some fish are just aggressive though. My boater in a tournament fought a fish out from under a dock on a wacky worm and it came off right at the boat. Instead of zooming off the fish just sat there so he dropped the same worm right in front of it and it ate it again. This was in mid June with almost 80 degree water so no way it was a bedding fish, just really hungry or territorial. 

I'm going to flip a white jig tomorrow onto the beds I have spotted. A guy I was fishing with spotted an easy 5 possibly 6, it was literally on the shoreline. Right next to a rock wall. What do you think this one was doing? I think it was a female because it was really long. There was also a small bass probably about 1 pound right next to it. Me and this guy flipped a jig and tube at it and it wouldn't hit. I couldn't even tick it off.
