Went out this morning with Scooba Steve and Tom the weekend warrior, no
bites ecept for a few crappie and small bass on jigs. Saw a huge wake break
out from the shoreline and cast a big jitterbug but it missed it's target by
about 5 feet. Went back to fishing the other side where I was when Tom cast
his Tiki stick over to the shoreline, next thing I know he has this monster
fish on and I mean big, could well have been over 7 lbs, biggest fish I have
seen on this lake in the 6+ years I have been here. He gets it to the boat
and then the stupidity factor kicks in, in a swift motion he granbs the line
and trys to lift this beast into the boat, snap. Fish gone.

Now usually I don't get too upset about lost fish especially if they are
someone else's, but this fish was magnificent and a fish like this will only
come along once in a blue moon. Hated to see it get away especially when it
was so close.
