Throw a whopper plopper out there and get a backlash. No problem, a 3 lber chokes it for keeper number 2. \

Cool beans!

Caught about 100 fish at Monticello after my Yellow Magic had been sitting dead still for more than 10 seconds.

Yeah, try to catch up on a frog in deep pads.... bang

Ive been Luck sometimes, not so much others.

Did you slow down after that and let it soak for a while on other casts?

Not a bass, but caught a big old cat on a chatterbait sitting at the bottom when I was picking out my backlash lol.

My dad caught his PB, an 11.2 pounder on a craw worm after working on a backlash for several minutes. I'd rather be lucky than good... Still waiting on being that lucky.

Usually with a TX rig or shaky head. Get a back lash, pull it out reel up the slack and there's one on there. It's happened enough that I check where the line is now when I reel up and feel before reeling up.

Pretty common problem. Forces us to slow down to fix backlash.

I used to fish Martin Creek back in the 80's and 90's (when there was great grass) with a Boy Howdy and a Devil Horse. Back then I used to smoke and I cast by the hydrilla mat and let it sit while I lit a cigarette. After a full 30 to 45 seconds sitting still a good one came up and killed it. I started letting it sit for 1 minute after that and if I didn't get hit I would barely move it and let it sit again. I can't tell you how many fish I caught that way...and it would scare the s*** out of you every time!
