    What would you do?

    Here is the situation I had back in november. It was post frontal conditions on the 3rd day of a 4 day tournament. The water temp. was in the mid 50s and air temp about the same, I think it got down into the low 30s the night before. At about lunch time with bluebird conditions and 15-20 mph wind I got on a good frog bite on a spro frog. The first fish I caught was about 3 lbs. After catching that first fish I had about a dozen more bites in the same area with NO hookups. I tried several different colors and even switched to a paddle tail zoom type frog. I also tried different retrieves with the same outcome...Huge blow ups but no hook ups. What would you guys have done? This cost me a paycheck....

    Could you have added a trailer hook?

    If possible, maybe dropping a weightless Senko into any holes in the grass mats. Other than that, I'd have to agree with punching following a missed strike.
