was fishing at lake george yesterday.more like fighting the wind. i was throwing a lipless in about 3-4ft of water at the edge of a weedline when i thought i got a bite. thought it was a real good one for about 2 seconds and then realized it was caught. i knew there were no stumps or anything in that area so i trolled up to it and could barely make out the colors and back leg and tail of a gator with my crank caught on it! he must have been snoozing or something cuz he didn't budge. i tried to get around the other side of him to try and pull the bait backwards. that's when my tm must have spooked him cuz he took off. snapped my line, and took my lipless with him! he was about 4-5 foot. first time for everything:D
