In 1981...when I came to Florida...I was casting off the shoreline..I thought DANG!!! I'm hooked on a telephone pole...then the pole started swimming..to the right ..to the left like a European orange carp..then the line started getting slack..AND OH MY !!! a sickning feeling came all over me as I watched a good 29 inch ..12 .8 bass leap totally out of the water..eyes as big as 50 cent pieces and threw my Rooster Tail out of it's mouth..A week later a man came by and caught that 12. 8 bass with a shiner..He took a picture and released it..
