Has been said to me on a few occasions , when I used to hit public spots often back when, more than a few times folks would just sit down and watch me .
Sometimes it would bother me a bit and other times I knew what was up , I am that guy that tunes out the world quickly when my jig hits the water , it becomes me against the fish immediately .
Yesterday was a no witness day though and I was glad , walked up dropped my jig ,,,,KABOOM fish on , up to the surface and then gone .....danget right ....
second drop ....KABOOM fish on and its BIG and we fight a good bit and as it nears the end ....GONE AGAIN ? .....
man I am in the wth mode , lost 2 in row ....not good ....1 every other trip is my average .....
dropped it yet again and the scenario repeats itself on another nice fish ? .....
Well to say the least I feel somewhat defeated and like a beginner and question why or how I could have lost 3 in a row ....:dono
I check my jig ,all seems good , drop it down and ....KABOOM another nice one on and then....
GONE ! :banghead
look at my jig again with no glasses and my old eyes and it seems good to go ???
dropped it again and fish number 5 inhales it to it's gills and we go at it a bit and it goes in the air and as it passes I see the jig down it's throat and think there ya go .....and at that very second in time ....
OFF comes fish number 5 and lands at my feet on the dock .....
I am totally baffled and take a picture of the fish and think something just ain't right ....
better check that jig one more time and make sure it ain't my jig ......
so I zoom in on it with my phone camera to see it better and there ya go ....
DUH ! :Rofl:banghead
now mind ya this , some folks said well them sickle hooks are trash and I said really ? that hook was good for at least 300 slabs in the last few days , do most hooks last well past 300 plus fish is now my question ...the life expectancy on a crappie jig hook point is ? what ?
p.s. regular old cheap nail polish will take a beating and stay on a jighead a long time ,if you keep it off the rocks and roof of the dock ....:highfive

I’m gonna have to get those too I’m afraid. Several times last trip I went to tie on a jig, thread the line through the eye and start to tie the knot, then plink the jig is on the floor. Just THOUGHT it was through the eye.
