Not setting the hook on my personal record bass, or beilieve to be, fishing a tube last year he took it and ran with it started winding it in figured it was hooked got it back up towards the boat and it spit it back out. Often wonder how big this one was the rod was bent like i never had seen it bent before could feel it pulling hard, hardest I ever felt. I think about it all of the time the rest of the day I set the hook in about 5 logs thinking it was a bite when i felt a bump.
