[QUOTE="NomDeBoom, post: 4259357, member: 50898"] This is funny & I don't agree with all of it. At all. But I have caught fish that were smaller than (even 'pretty dang small') sized lures I was using. And, I've caught 2 of some particular breed of fish that I've yet to positively identify. Locally, too. One was about 5 lbs. & colored like a white pearl. A Beautiful, Magical thing to behold- caught during a sudden & violent thunder storm. I returned it, unharmed to the darkening waves for fear of retribution from the Ichthyology Gods. Also; it was all I caught that day, & who wants to clean just one, magic fish? The next one (& only) creature of this type, was 'snagged' in the same waterway using the method described above....(the teeny lure concept). I was reeling in one of favorite, lifelike, rubber fish- and a tiny, iridescent pearly version of the former was stuck on the hook. I threw that one back too. And, oh yeah. Bass are fkn stupid. Largemouths are morons. I swear; several times I've gone out to farm ponds armed with those same little rubber fish (look like a punkin' seed or bluegill- with a bigger hook on top, & a treble on the tail) & caught what had to ALL the bass in the pond, TWICE! (Usually about a Lb. each or so. Reel one in, dehook the li'l Basstard, toss it back in a high arc, !!!*SPlaSH*!!! All the rest hurry over, 'What'd I miss? What'd I Miss'???.....Just this....cast, repeat until dark, or all the rubber fish are chewed beyond recognition. If you ever met a 20 foot bass, you'd be in real trouble. STUPID trouble! Lucky Jaws was only a shark. [/QUOTE]
