Re: Sheperds Mills Pond 10/15
Thats really good for a windy day. On numerous occasions at RV, I've had smallmouth come from under the boat and grab shiners/herring just as I was pulling them out of the water, biggest around 12". One time, I had a loon dive underwater and grab a sunfish that I had on about 15ft beneath the boat. ..I reeled the s.o.b. to the boat (it fought very well!) and it put its feet against the side of the boat and was pulling backward while my dad was trying to get the hook out of the sunny's mouth...the bird was NOT going to let that sunfish go. It took about a minute, but my dad got the hook out and the bird fell backward into the water with the sunfish in its mouth and swam away. When we came back next week, the bird was dead with the sunny in its throat, tail was hanging out of its mouth. (7" sunny)I guess it was too big. Definately the weirdest thing that has happened to me fishing.
