You've probably all seen the great blue heron strike at Siemantel's BBZ-1 in his DVD...I had the same thing happen, except I didn't see the bird until after it struck and held the lure in its beak. Luckily, the hooks didn't take hold when I yanked the BBZ-1 (floating) out of its mouth...unhooking a heron with a 12"-dagger-like beak while in my pontoon doesn't sound like fun.
