With about 5 minutes to go we puuled up on the pileings by the ramp that we along with everyone else had pounded into a froth throughout the day. My buddy joe was fishing a 1 oz jig when he felt "tic" in the middle of that mess. He sets and keeps her coming doing a great job of c learing her from all that tangled wood. unfortunatly she went airborn when she reached the surface and spit the hook 3' from the boat......... and then just sat there on the surface for a brief second. I was already streached out trying to get to that fish with the net asap. I dont know what hit me but I lunged at that 5lber just sitting there and in the lake i went, net, cell phone, wallet and all. The net hit her and she bolted for deep water...... SWING and a MISS
Great job everyone. Some really impressive bags were caught. Congrats Bigmouths on the win!!!

Rich, I had the pleasure of watching this all play out right before my eyes and I really thought you got the fish in the net with that effort! Truthfully myself I always thought about that exact scenario and if I'd jump in to get a fish that just spit a lure that was a biggin? I still am not sure, but at least I know what it would look like now, LOL!
