Default Wab Burb

So a buddy and I went out to Wab today, even though the wind sucked. We drill our holes and set up. Just finished the routine and sat in our chairs and he says look at this. I have never seen a fish doing this before. A burb swam up the hole and was chilling out. Made us laugh pretty good, this thing hung around for awhile too. Acting more like a dog than a fish. Its eyes were kind of white, maybe it was blind I dont know. Anyhow enjoy for what its worth.

That's cool!!!
One time at slave lake we stayed in a shack over night and reeled out lines up but left them about 6 inches below the water to keep our minnows from drying out. We were awaken by our rod falling off a chair and a burn at the end of it .... We assed this is exactly what happened.

Cool to catch on video.

LOL! Great video. I had a muskrat come up once but never a fish.

Good thing he wasn't one of those Asian carp......that could have been exciting!
