Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted December 20, 2018 Root Admin Share Posted December 20, 2018 Was fishing yesterday afternoon down by the Landing and hooked something that didn't cooperate at all. Had 2-pound line on throwing a 1/32nd ounce jig. I knew immediately it was big and heavy. It didn't shake or bolt, just bulldogged me, came towards the boat and then made a bee-line away. I was on my trolling motor trying to follow it when my line went limp. I bet he ran into some steel structure that dots the bottom of the lake in that area. It was as if he cut it with a knife - clean cut. I would have liked to just see it... but I have a feeling it was a big carp. I'll never know!

BilletHead Never more true than when bottom fishing in the ocean. I recall one trip when I had a great bite and hooked something heavy. I would pull up and reel down to take in line. Each time that I dropped the rod there would be one or more heavy rugs on the line. Everyone around me speculated as to the species. Got to be a big black grouper. No its an amberjack. Red grouper pull heavy like that... I said it felt like a rock. I ended up pulling in a sponge attached to a coconut sized rock😂. No I did not put that on my life list. fishinwrench, MOstreamer, JestersHK and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck when you fished with me there were many rocks you set the hook into. I remember too we had to go over and release all the rocks. #freethefighter #keepthemwet . I may also add no rocks were hurt during this outing. Also do rocks feel pain?
