finally came toward the surface, and we got a look at it. Not a walleye.
BIG largemouth! Seven plus range. Then it was gone! And in its place, I had
about a 5" rock bass.

I had a similar thing happen on Lake Shelbyville in Illinois. I hooked a big
bluegill on a 4" Senko off some riprap behoind a marina and reeled him in a few
feet. All of a sudden a big white flash came and grabbed the 'gill and took
off. Fought it for a while and saw it twice. It was a HUGE musky....first one
I had ever seen in person or ever hooked. Damn thing never really fought hard,
just kinda playd with my spinning tackle until he let go of the 'gill. I had a
lot of laughing onlookers after they sw me pull in that dead 'gill after having
a pulling drag and a bent rod.
