Several years back before the dam work happened at Greenbo Lake,I was fishing the banks in the arm below the lodge there and saw several huge bass that ignored everything I threw at them ,but did the same thing chased water snakes along the rock ledges close to the bank,the water was very clear,smaller bass were doing the same thing.Only thing I had to imitate the snakes movement was an ancient rapala type triple jointed minnow type lure,except it was bigger than minnow size,a hand-me-down from an old relatives tackle box.Didn't work either.
