Was at one of my local fishing spots this evening with my step son and fishing buddy Alex Buckley.Was trying out a streamer on a fly rod near an old dam site. Initially caught a keeper sized small mouth bass but lost it in some shallow rapids while I was fumbling for my camera to take a video of it. Also caught a small large mouth bass too but not a size worthy of a photo. figuring the spot was spooked after all the action that took place of catching two bass I decided to try a pool just downstream of the damn and below some rapids. Casting perpendicular to the pool I hooked what I thought was a submerged log. As I tried to pull up on my rod tip and strip in my line is when I noticed that the log began to move!! See the video to see what happened next!! (all fish are released)
