Once while fishing with 1/16 oz jigs i caught a hand sized bluegill. I only had limited jigs with me as I forgot my jig box. Was skittering the blugliil acroos the surface when a about 2 lb bass grabbed it. Fishing with 2 lb test line and a 6'6" ultra lite spinng rod I was taking it pretty easy. I thought the bass was just not giving up the bluegill (not hooked) I was right because when he got close to the dock that I was standing on he spit it out.

Another bass about the same size was following and immediately grabbed the bluegill. I opened the bail on the spinning reel and let him run closed the bail and set the hook gently the bluegill popped out and hooked the bass. Landed this bass and on a digital scale it weighed 2 lb 15 oz. I would not have bet a coke that I would have landed this fish.
