zooker · 06-24-07, 03:47 PM

i have caught alot of bass and alot of fish period on crank baits. i was fishing a tourny today caught a nice fat 2+ pounder on a +4 suspend norman today.. i was shaking the tail hooks loose when the front split ring broke the fish bounced off the deck and went into the lake.. ohhhh boy was i pissed off..

i replaced the split ring and a few hours later i caught a turtle on the same crankbait
i tell ya what they fight like mad till they get yanked off the lake floor.

sounds like some crappy luck Zook, better luck next time.

Sounds like he was a fighter. Sucks it had to happen on tourney time. Consider it a down payment on a hog.

Wishing2BFishing · 06-25-07, 02:56 PM

Seems like your particular crankbait has some weird mojo. I have never had the split ring break and never caught a turtle (with a lure). You managed to do both with the same bait. Interesting . . . kinda like a voodoo lure.

yeah but that lure caught 12 keeper bass..

zoooker,

are you losing some weight? Looking pretty slim there fella. I know I'd being using a few choice words as well if I was fishing a tourney and the fish bounced back into the water, sorry to hear that. Did you manage to replace the fish with some new ones in the tourney?

That looks like it's gotta hurt. I bet any time something comes near that rattles and shakes, that turtles gonna scram!!! I'd write to the manufacturer and tell them about the ring. Maybe there have been other complaints.

Zooker, well did you lose the lure after the split ring broke or were you able to get back to fishin with the same lure?

Wishing2BFishing · 06-28-07, 07:08 PM

Zooker, you can ignore my last post. I looked at your initial thread which mentioned that you caught the turtle after the ring broke so I guess you did keep the lure. Guess it wasn't much fun ungluing the turtle from the crankbait.

That turtle is a toad

Well did you win the tournament by a split decision or is that lost by a
split decision? Sorry to hear that a small thing like that cost you a fish.
That's just not fair. I got to go. I've got a lot of lures to look over.
I hope it never happens again.

Basscrazie · 08-05-07, 09:19 PM

Wheres the pics of the 12 keepers?Man i like to see fish pics.Sorry about your bad luck.

CLENSKH · 08-06-07, 03:47 PM

Wow snagged it in the leg. I was fishing a liake as a kid once I snagged a old bush/tumble weed in the water realed it in and there was a turtle stuck in the bush but I have neevr snagged one! But Man gotta love those Normans!

zooker · 08-06-07, 05:41 PM
