Good job. The most we have dragged up was a ball of line with 3 Bandits in it, one of them mine that we had lost a couple of weeks earlier.



I've told this story on the KY Forum. I used to troll religiously for sauger and white bass on KY Lake. There was a spot on a ledge in the middle of the lake that constantly ate my crankbaits. I went into a local sporting goods store in Murray and there was a huge piece of a gill net hanging on the wall that was absolutely covered up in baits. I asked where did it come from and the store owner started describing a mid-lake ledge. We got a map out and I asked him if this was the spot---it was exactly. They had taken a tally of all the baits in that net and the prices of all the baits in it came to over $600 at current prices for that day(this was late 80s). Many of the baits were in such bad shape they were barely recognizable. Many looked brand new. I'm sure several of them were mine. It made for an interesting display. The guy had done fishermen a huge favor by taking a grappling hook and large rope with him and dragging it all up when he got hung up in the net.

I have no idea what became of the net and lures. That store closed a short time after,
