Saw Something on Harris Yesterday I Have Never Seen Before
Charles and I pre-fished Harris on Friday and found a cove with lots of fish for the Saturday tournament. We decided to fish two-hook rigs with minnows. We went right to that cove on Saturday and immediately started catching fish. Somewhere around mid-morning Charles hollered for me to come to the back of the boat. Numerous times during the morning we had double hook-ups. Charles said this one was different and to come look.
What I saw was amazing. Both crappie were around 7" long and as he got them up near the surface, a huge large-mouth bass grabbed the lower one and proceeded to play tug-of-war. I grabbed the net to see if I could scoop him up, but I sure wished now I had grabbed my camera. That bass did not want to let go and kept on pulling. When I got close-by with the net, he finally let go and eased back down into the deeper water. It was a sight we will never forget--staring at that monster doing all he could to pull that crappie off the hook and into his mouth.
