Not exactly a big bite.. but a couple stupid bites! Was fishing with a boater in a small club tourney at the local lake last year, It was windy, and we were hitting an area in open water I know well. I threw a Beaver out, let it sink, and was fishing when my partner hooks up. I net the fish, and somehow in the process manage to scatter my gear acoss the rear deck. My rod was on the passenger seat with the Beaver out, andI'm sitting there scrambling to get all my #### back together. Pick up the rod after 5 minutes, start to reel in for another cast, and fish on! Had one recently where the fish ate a dropshot while I was helping my dad untangle his rig. I'm sitting there and just finished put everything back in order when my rod goes sideways down the gunnel. Ended up being a solid 3lber. Don't get me started on birds. Seems every trip out I almost hook or nail a bird on the water with a cast. My worst ever was when I was fishing a Vixen last year and ended having a great blue heron take in in the leg. He didn't even hit the lure! I made a cast across this long point and as the line settling on the water, this bird just comes out of the trees right across the line. The bird takes line like crazy and I'm holding onto the rod with one hand try to find my pliers (which I had left on the bottom of the boat in an Einstein moment..) I watched the friggin Vixen fly out of the water into the bird's leg right as I run out of line and it snaps off the knot. Long story short(er)... my friends who was on the lake that day had to join me while we netted and proceeded to do removal surgery on a really pissed off heron.

Bass + Fisherman= BAASS ADDICTT!!!
