11406, What If? Posted by swimbait, Wed Aug-26-09 10:18 AM
All talk of world record rules and robotic lures makes me wonder...
What if I was fishing at a private lake where only members who lived around the lake could fish? But what if I was a guest that day..
What if the private lake rules said you could only cast to within 15 feet of docks? What if I was casting 16 feet away...
What if the bass was a bed fish but I was casting from a place where I couldn't see the bass? What if I felt the fish bite and set the hook but it came in hooked outside the mouth...
What if I had set up an aqua view near the bed? What if had a friend tell me when to set the hook..
What if I was using a robotic lure? What if there was no DFG rule about robotic lures but they made one after the fact...
What if I used a remote control boat to bring my lure over the bass? What if I wasn't operating that boat...
What if someone just caught it cleanly, on video, from cast to finish. Has 'wolf' been cried too many times now?
I happen to think there's a jinx here. Like bringing a banana in the boat. It's not the curse of the Mummy, it's the Curse of Super Bessie!
