Dad was bouncing his jig off their boat and catching fish out from under them. I don't remember their minnows catching a thing. I always think about that when the bite is slow and I consider minnows.
I love it!!!!

I wouldn't have been able to keep my mouth shut, I would have had those guys so p__sed off at me that they would have shot me.
