my personal favorite ever was in my ole river. (larry you know it) theres was a yatch club boat launch crane peir and then about 20-40ft of water and then a jetty. so it was tight quarters from the end of the jetty. nice stained water would prevent much of anything deeper than a 1ft or 2 from being visible. working a broken back slowly along the surface... only about 10 ft a way. all you would see it a small ripple which would grow into a large wake. then a fin would pop up out of the water as you started to make out the head of this. a seconds worth of trailing and catching up and then BAM!!!

it probably only last a 3 seconds TOPS. but every time it seemed like time slowed down and it all would happen in slow motion. i miss it. i havent been able to replicate it in a long time.
