Funny how we all probably have, or will have, an experience like that. Mine involves an 18" white crappie laying on top as the boat moved away right after my wife hung my crankbait up in the net and knocked the crappie off. She was crying "Do something!!" like I could go back and scoop it up in the net. After a couple of seconds, it tail-flipped and was gone. It was a solid 3++ pounder, biggest crappie I've seen around my boat in 30 years. She still tears up when it is mentioned.
I seem to have a knack for it, I got excited in the rain one day last year and threw the net into the jig and knocked another giant last year.

Literally had dreams of big crappie swimming away out of reach Friday night, Lol. Oh well, at least I know they are in that part of the lake.
