Man,

Good to know I am not alone. But it was embarrassing never less and funny for all my friends.

I remember fishing Oak Orchard many years ago and snagged a bunch of zebra mussels which were attached to a small rock. Like you probably experienced, the current grabs the rock and it causes almost like a fluttering action which feels like a head shake in the current. I too thought I had a nice fish on for a few minutes only to realize a little later that wasn't the case. Now I wait for the fish to jump before getting excited! Rocks and zebra mussels will typically stay low in the water column

Reminds me of a trick my buddies pulled on a friend of ours a few years ago while trolling for stripers, Mac dozed off and while he was asleep they tied a 5 gallon bucket to his line and punched a couple holes in the bottom..They all started screaming to Mac that he had a monster strike, of course u can figure the rest, took him 10 or 15 mins to figure out he'd been pranked..Meanwhile the group was delierious over his antics about big a fish he had on his line..Doubt he'll ever live that one down..

Flip side is he's probably going to have the same situation one day, get the hit of a lifetime, ignore it and get spooled! Doesn't pay to fall asleep with friends when you're fishing! Seen may bad things happen as a consequence!
