What was once taken, is given again!

Well, I posted about busting off a Fat Boy crankbait about a week or so ago, maybe two weeks ago. Well, I went this afternoon to Sloppy Floyd to fish for a while. Perfectly beautiful day! Well, I was fishing the same rock pile, but this time, I was using a T-rigged Baby Paca Craw. Well, lo and behold, I feel some "extra" weight on my line, and somehow, the line from my crankbait was WRAPPED around my hook! How that happened, I will never know. So, I got my crankbait back, and I will be sending a grateful letter to Norman Lure Co. because the hooks weren't rusted, at all! It still looked like I hadn't ever lost it!

I have a likely story. </p>

Back in Memphis about 4 years ago, I lost a brand new crankbait that got hung in a tree. So about 2-3 weeks later I was throwing a spinnerbait in the same spot and pulled up a 3 or so pound bass to the dock and the fish had my crankbait barely hooked to its back.</p>

While this is a cool happening, it doesn't nearly replace all the lures, hooks, etc., that I have busted off in this lake. If I have broken off a dozen times, I haven't done it once at this place. The rock piles they have aren't rock at all, the majority of the piles consist of busted up concrete and rebar. Nasty stuff to fish.

LOL One bass, 11 7/8" long off the Paca Craw. I am sold on using SPAM for catfish. If I had taken the time to remove the bad line from my reel, and got down to the better line, I would have gotten a toad of a catfish. When this fish hit my rig, I had just enough time to get the rod in my hand, and I felt him running with it. Upon setting the hook, the line broke. However, in that split second, I felt enough of the fish to know it was a good catfish, and the honest truth is that I couldn't turn him.

I fished a little on the lower lake, and I think that I had a fish hit a fluke fished around 3 ft. deep. However, if it was a fish, he didn't hit the fluke nearly as good as he should have.

Seems that I can't buy a good day of bass fishing there.
