I walked up on this swamp/pond and there was a LM about 3lb sitting in an opening between the muck about 3 feet from the shore. Do you throw your senko next to him and try to get him to bite it? or do you leave it alone?

leave it alone?...I'm throwing something to see if I can get him to strike.

:-?

Is this a riddle?

Why wouldn't you try to catch it?

Is this a trick question or what ?

throw it a few feet away with a soft splash

that type of fish can be impossible to catch

:-?

Normally, when I encounter a situation like that, I take my rod and snap it over my knee, throw my senkos in the trash, and go bowling.

Seriously though, what was the question? ;D

First you panic.

Second, you try to rig up your favorite rod and reel.

Third, you finally throw your plastic near the fish and realize that it took you too long to get rigged and the fish is gone.  ;D

YES!  Fish for that fish.  

P.S. This is why you always rig your rods before leaving home.

Thats what i did. I thru my senko next to him and surprisingly he took it. However, because i was hanging over a railing with bushes on both sides I couldnt set the hook good and he got off.
