I filmed a medium ale yesterday underwater in Craddock. Caught many large and small mouth bass. In the morning, every point provided a hit. The ale is an interesting creature. He starts off on fire but then he settles down a bit until he gets close to the bottom. Many times, when the ale came to the bottom he would almost always dig into the mud creating a cloudy mess in his path. Another interesting thing I learned is that bass DO NOT eat medium ales from the front. Secondly, bass don't give up very easy once they get a taste for an ale. One bass actually got hooked, was dragged a bit, came unbuttoned, took a second to collect himself, then came back and stole my bait. Here are some pictures of that thief in action! After the initial fightComing Back for moreThievery!No, I won't be putting a stinger on a medium ale!

Sweet, that last shot is exactly how I invision stripers taking the big bait in early spring which is why I think stingers work so good, but I could be wrong...

The hours of video I have watched show that striper do just about everything you can think of to the bait. One even swallowed a mongo half way tail first then spit it back out as another came in and ate it head first. They smack, mouth, punch, shake etc. Then someone from below eats. I remember you being puzzled at how they could strip a bait with 4 sharp edges scattered about. I wondered too. I don't wonder anymore... Simply stated.. The act of stunning or playing removes the hooks.
