![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/10/full-46293-71961-4.381.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/10/full-46293-71962-4.38.jpg) I was fishing in the back of a creek this evening and this fish surfaced twice chasing shad. I threw everything on the deck before contemplating what to do next. I remembered an article Don Harper wrote about Spooks and found one hiding in the bottom of my boat. I used the SOS Morse Code rhythm Don described. It took a few casts before this fish crushed the Spook. Scared the carp out of me. Fish weighed 4.38 lbs. Great experience, thanks Don!

Don’s the man, for sure. I’m constantly thinking about his articles when I’m on the water or looking at maps.
