Now I know your telling the truth! Again, I had the same experience. The fish would thump the ever living heck outa the rod leading me to snatch it up with such a fury that when, most surprisingly, there wasn't a fish on the other end, the lure continued into the air until the line was tight and the jig held steady 15' above me! I found that a crappie nibble helped the fish hold onto my jig longer.
