Was being pestered to death one May day many years ago in Blood River on Ky Lake by Warmouth bluegill hitting soft plastics. You know the deal, peckpeckpeckpeck, and then they tear the tail off. Told my buddy in the front of the baot I'm gonna let the next one take it for a mile and then rip his lips off and laughed.
Sure nough peck peck, I let it run a long ways and set the hook like I was trying to pull a stuck car out of the ditch. Warmouth came airborne from the bank for about a 10 foot flight out towards the boat. Warmouth lands and we start laughing, I look down and my line is going down the side of the boat a little to tight to be this dink warmouth. I reeled down and set the hook again this time hooking and landing a nice 21 inch largehead that had blasted that little pest. When I landed the fish I had the bass, above that the warmouth above the eye of the sproat hook with the line through it's lip, then the plastic worm then the slip sinker. We took a picture of this mess just like that and had a good laugh.
