Josh,
Most of my fish this week have run sideways. Piece of cake ..set the hook in the other direction.....bass in the boat. Yesterday was terrible and I lost some nice fish.What do ya do in this case.

Fishing because of front is slow.So I'm reaching over deep in the cattails. Theres only a 3 inch circle big enough to drop my best soft bait in. I jiggle it a few times.TAP. The line rips straight for the boat which is a massive underwater jungle. I tried doing my gentle lift.NO WAY!! Hook is stuck in the structure. I've triedsnatching before and pull the bait out of her mouth. I lost 6 of these yesterday. Water is about 3 foot deep BUT HEAVY BRUSH or CATTAILS.
