Just out for a short trip to a local pond with nothing but a couple of ShakE2

and GYCB Kut Tail. Fishing is slow (nada), the only action is several families

of ducks feeding near the bank. I move up ten steps and the ducks move

down just ahead of me.

 

So as I move down the bank I'm casting forward and out, away from the ducks

ten feet or more. All of a sudden the first group in front of me spooks and take

off while my bait is still in the air. Well, as it happened, one of these birds gets

tangled up in the line. I don't know what to do, but a lot of things are running

through my mind. I'm considering just cutting the line, but then it would be up

to the duck to free himself...not a great option.

 

I start flicking my stick, reeling down, then up. Move forward and then back. With

all the commotion my reel develops some backlash, but I'm busy playing this darn

bird and just have to let the mess be buried in the spool. I'm jerking around like a

fool and the bird has gone bonkers! 

 

Suddenly, to my amazement, the duck frees himself. He is about twenty yards out

and has dragged my line along with him. As I begin retrieving line, it starts moving

towards the middle of the pond. When the slack is finally in, I feel some shoulders

tugging on what's left.

 

I guess it's only fair to give the duck credit for a good hook-up and a fine fish!

No way! LMAO.... A back lash of Tatsu ? That's too funny, a flying duck drops a GYCB Kut tale on the head of a LMB.... Lol.... My lord, that could make Fox News !!

OK Kent

 

 I'm pretty sure TN has some kind of Regs against enslaving Water Fowl to assist putting you on bass . . . .

 

Knock that stuff off  . . . . .

 

 

A-Jay

Yes! This is epic! Truly world class action my friend.

d**n lol that's cool how big was the bass

Maybe around 6 lbs

Let this be your "hole in one"!

Great job!!!

That must have quacked you up?!

 

Okay, I know, that was bad.

 

In all honesty, that was truly an original and funny fishing story. You can't make that stuff up!

 

6 lbs, nice going Bud!

I have a phone pic if I can figure out how to post it!

Cool story!  That would never happen to me!

 

Kent, text me the phone pic and I will post it!

I was smiling as I began reading through the story but had to compose myself, after your backlash paragraph when you said... "I'm jerking around like a fool and the bird has gone bonkers!" 

 

This is one for the ages

Really??!!!

 

You need a name for this most unusual presentation. Let me suggest

 

"The Duck Dropping Technique."

I've heard of foul hooking, but Fowl Hooking is a new one by me.

That's crazy, LOL!

I don't know why but I have found that this technique works better when the bird in question is a Blue Heron.

Dang, does that fish have teeth? Nice fish/ cool story too!

Looks like that bass had a kut tale too!

I caught the same bass a couple of weeks ago and the tail was much worse.

It has healed quite a bit, so I think she will survive. It appeared that she might

have snipped by a turtle.

Ha.  thats great.

This is way too funny

Catch 'em anyway you can.
