I had a strange hit last year too. I was fishing boom lake in WI and I
suddenly felt my spinnerbait stop, sure enough it was a bass on the other
end. weirdest thing, shocked the hell out of me. : )

Went fishing at the phosphate pits in Lakeland, FL this past Friday.
Great
day... 81 degrees, sunshine and the water was quite warm at 75 degrees.
Had
the strangest day though. Was fishing with a crank bait and last fish
caught
was a catfish. I was wondering why the fish was so hard to pull up. But
that
was not the strangest thing. I threw the crank bait up to shore and it
nailed a fallen tree limb. You know the kind... it hit the tree limb
with
a
"thud" and did not move. It's a sure bet it's not coming loose. my
friend
in
the boat commented that I was snagged good. The next thing I
know.."wap"..... a bass actually came up out of the water and grabbed
the
crank bait while it was stuck on the limb! I could not believe it. The
lure
was a couple of inches out of the water.

Here are the links to a couple of photos I took (they are rather
large...
and direct links. Sorry):
