When I was fishing the other day I caught the biggest turtle I have ever seem and the worst thing is it broke my favorite rod.

Sorry to hear about your mishap. Of course you know, you were the one who broke your rod....not the turtle.

One of the very reasons I pack heat when fishing ponds in BFE! Look at it this way. If the fish arnt biting, I still get to kill something lol

I think I about had one on a fluke the other week fishing some back waters. I was fishing said fluke on 12lb braid and when I set the hook I felt no pressure at all the bait was just gone. It also didnt look like a bass strike.

Pickeral?

 

They devour flukes around here. When you set the hook and they really have it you about fall out of the boat as there is ZERO resistance.

 

Also, LOL @ "pack heat" from rockchalk.

it was in the juniata so i guess thats possible but there was no swirl

Man that's rough

I sight fished a very nice snapper on a Netbait B-bug Thursday. I was flipping water willows and thought I saw a monster bass pushing through the weeds. Turned out to be a very aggressive snapper that was all over my bait as soon as it hit bottom in front of him. Very disappointing fight, seemed he was as sluggish as the bass were. Made it easy to unhook him though.
