Fished from 1pm-3pm yesterday and caught 4. 3 on a jig, and 1 on a spinner bait. I missed one on a spinner bait, but it was the most interesting thing. I was sitting on a small bluff about 5-6 feet above the waters edge, and casting out. I could see my spinner bait coming through the top foot of water, and I see a bass come out of nowhere, strike it, move it about a foot, then spit it out. It happened so fast that when I set the hook, it was already out of his mouth. What was interesting about it though, was that I never felt a thing through my rod. Not a twitch, bump, or anything. If I hadn't seen him hit it, I never would have known a strike occurred to begin with. He hit the lure while going sideways and slightly towards me, which is why I don't think I felt anything. It was neat seeing how fast they can hit and spit a lure, very impressive to say the least.

I have seen this stuff happen quite commonly up here. Brook Trout, White Perch, Bass, (both small and largemouths) Chain Pickeral are famous for it. Grabbing the bait or lure and swiming straight at you, feels like a small log on your line until they start fighting. I guess it is because they live in the water and attack their prey in a number of ways.
