Tbar,

Another experience with LMB occurred when I lived in CO (and I know Pat will get kick out of this story too). I liked to fish an irrigation reservoir for crappie during times around the spawn. I would wade so I could cast farther and reach staging fish. Used a 1/8 chartreuse jig and either a red or black tube with chartreuse tail. Love that lure for crappie. Anyways, I'd string the crappie until I reached the limit. But one day, a particular LMB would come up and try to take crappie off my stringer. It was around 20". It exhibited the behavior several times and I would only notice when I felt him forcefully strike a crappie on my stringer. My wife was fishing beside me that day and she thought it was hilarious ... she had no issues (but not as many fish on her stringer).
