I have had a handful of schoolies jump when hooked, but my most memorable "jumper" was 3 years ago in mid October, I happened upon a small school of adult menhaden circling in 2 ft of water. Feeling confident that bass were nearby, I tossed an eel into the channel adjacent to the flat, the eel swam off for all of 3 seconds before it was picked up. I dropped the rod tip and set, I must have scared the $#!+ out of her because she leapt immediatley a full 2 feet of the surface. A few minutes later, I landed her about an 18 pound fish... pretty cool.
