Thought you may enjoy this:
This guy Barry that I work with went up to VT. to visit family this weekend. I guess they have quite a bit of land and theres a pond too. Barry said he was about to go for a swim, and he looked down from the rock he was standing on, and there was a huge LMB sitting on a nest. He squatted down for a closer look, and the territorial bass came right up to the surface, mouth wide open. Barry then put his finger in the water, and sure enough, the bass went after it. He jumped back cuz he didn't expect it, then he went to do it again, and the bass jumped clear out of the water.
He went back to the camp and gathered everyone to see this feat. He took a rod with him and tied a tennis ball to the line. Apparently this bass went after the tennis ball everytime that he hung it over the water. He said to me, "all I needed was a whip and a chair", as if it were a lion in a circus or something. Apparently this disgruntled bass went after Barry's daughter's foot as well.
I know that theres no more stressful a time in a bass' life than during a spawn, but how often do you get to see something like that?? Anyways... |
