It seems every year I have a strange canal experience, last year it was the squirrels swimming across the ditch. This year....
I was jigging Wednesday night the last 3 of the west. Things had been slow when I FINALLY hooked up, felt like a decent fish took a nice run etc. Anyway as the fish sounded, about half way in it began racing UP-current this is not a common occurence... at least not in my experience. Well not 2 seconds had gone by when a huge swirl erupted in the general vicinity of my fish
. The swirl was larger than a car hood and then the beast rolled over. Not 100% sure but I am pretty sure it was a shark in pursuit of my bass looked to be over 6 feet long. I saw the width of the fish it was smooth and thick. My fish escaped the shark but not my hook. The fish measured 41" and was released... hopefully not too tired to escape what may have been waiting below.
Anyone else had this experience??
