Reply With QuoteI used to get a kick out of Bill Dance, Jimmy Houston and some of the others how they would over exaggerate setting the hook and playing the fish in their Tv shows. It made for some sensational catches. LOL

I Took a Bass fisherman Crappie Fishing
I gotta tell you about the first bite he got, I'm still laughing about it. I fish with 12' rod rigged with a slip float and minnows. I got him all set up and showed him where to put his bait next to an overflow pipe we were fishing. I caught one and then saw him float had started down and I said OK set the the hook. Well he had one hand ahead of the reel and one on the butt and he set the hook like he was worm fishing for Bass. That crappie came flying out of the water and over the boat and landed in the water on the other side of the boat probably minus a lot of mouth.Well needless to say it was a few minutes before I could get back to fishing because I was laughing so hard! He did catch his second bite and we ended up with 27.

Flying crappie, nice. Ive set the hook too hard and had the jig come flying back at me but never with the fish!
I love watching Bill Dance but the way he fights fish youd swear each one was a 10 pound brute on the end of the line. Definately over playing the fish.
