Three interesting stories to tell.

1) If you’re familiar with Santee, many years ago caught a deformed tagged bass in March in the back of Angels Cove on a spinnerbait. Mid summer caught the same fish probably close to a mile away in deeper water on a c rig.

2) At Santee again, a couple years ago was fishing with my son in Russellville, we both casted to the same spot probably 5’ apart. He hooked a nice one on a spinnerbait, I started reeling my Rage craw in because it swam towards my line. Felt a hit, set the hook. Both of us reeled in the same fish, both lures hooked in the mouth.

3) Probably 40 years ago was fishing on a Saturday in the Cooper River, saw a friend of mine fighting something big. Turned out to be a giant mudfish. Neither of us had a net, so he tried clamping onto its jaw with a pair of vice grips to get his lure back. The mudfish twisted away and swam off with his vice grips still clamped on. The next day we were both in the same general area, I saw something shiny moving through the water. It was the same mudfish. Flipped a red shad Culprit worm to it, caught it, and rescued his vice grips. He couldn’t believe it when I idled up to his boat and tossed them onto his casting deck
