The scary thing to me is how easy this would be to do in the canal with a jig head and the heavy gear we use... I've had jigs shoot past me over my shoulder twice already, same place, large fish both times.
One of the spots I fish has a back eddy coming off a rockpile, outside of the rockpile water flows one direction, inside it flows the other. It does this for atleast 50 yards, running parallel to shore maybe 15 -20 yards from shore.
Sometime a really good fish stays down, and you need to lift them over the edge. When a fish gets in the back eddy, all of a sudden its going much faster as its going with the current, and as it gets past you the jig head can turn and it can come unhooked while you are leaning back trying to lift it off the bottom.
