GEEZ, Where to start?? O.k. while fishing Lk 13 in clare couny with my brother in law, we were sitting in a spearing shanty fishin gills, my B.I.L. was bring up a gill when out of no where a pike slams the gill, yanks the rod out of his hands and is gone!! It all happened so quick that, neither of us got a good look at the pike. About 45 minutes later his flag went off, so we shuffled over to the tip up, he set the hook and brings in a 31" northern that weighed 11 lbs, as he brought it up on the ice there was a tear drop, hooked in the corner of its mouth,with the line still attached. Well, he pulled in the line and there was his diddle pole!! True story.

Fishing in the Juniata River in central PA with my brother and my youngest son who was 4 at the time. We were drifting a section of the river using helgramites for bait and catching alot of smallmouth bass. Whenever my brother or I would hook a fish we would hand the rod to my son to let him reel the fish in. My son was reeling in this one fish (a 12" smallmouth) and all of a sudden the line started going out of the reel and pulled my son against the side of the boat. It seemed as though the fish all of a sudden got stronger. At that time we reallized that he was no longer reeling a bass. He was doing a good job of holding on to the rod but the fish was winning. My brother then got the rod back from him and began to try to bring this huge fish to the boat. He got what we estimated to be a 50" musky to within about 6' from the boat. The fish just thrashed it's head back and forth abbout 6' from the boat and we could not get the net under it. After about 5 minutes of this the musky spit out the bass it was holding onto. The musky was never hooked because the hook was still in the lip of this very dead bass. That bass was the only fish we kept that day because #1 it was dead and #2 it helped back up our story. The 12" bass had huge gouges in it's skin and flesh. TRUE STORY!
