True dat !! Experienced just that very thing this past Thur. Early morning fish were biting kinda timid, but later on in the day they were choking it. Several fish I caught did not "thump" , but the line went a little slack on the retrieve, prompting a hookset. But, yeah .... I've been a "line watcher" since I started casting jigs, several decades ago. That's what prompted me to go to hi-vis line as I got "older".
