Those were good ones. Especially the smallie from Dale....cant imagine that pain. Let me preface this story by saying I havent bassfished much in my life, especially for largemouth. Well, one day back in the early 80's I was crappie fishing with a buddy in Deer Creek. It's off the Ohio around Tell City and back then it was big for bass tourneys but also good for crappie. Lots of flooded timber with a channel weaving through it. We had ultra light rigs popping tube jigs under a clip-on bobber and doing pretty well on crappie. Well, a storm was blowing in, wind really kicking up but we kept on casting a few more quick times. I had a decent crappie on and was bringing him to the boat. When I got him close there was a sudden swirl with some noise right by my fish. Scared me so, I stopped reeling and just looked into the water. Then I saw this huge largemouth, probably in the 8 lb range and he turned on a dime and made a mad dash at my crappie. Really caught me off=guard. He/she inhaled my crappie and was off with it. I let it run for awhile and tried to wrestle it but it was pointless. Took my crappie for a snack and left me with just this story. One of the biggest largemouths I have ever seen.
