Couldn't get a camera on it tho, happened too fast, the wife was amazed, had never seen anything like that, me either.


A long time ago I was catching BG on a fly rod. Same thing happened and I let the LMB swallow it. I DID catch the LMB. IIRC I had to cut the line, no way could I get my fly back without cutting open the bass, which I did that evening.
