Was just walking along the bank fishing for bass when I found some leftover mullet that someone had caught in a cast net and forgotten, so I tied it on and threw it in. I was getting ready to go home when the rod suddenly flexed and he started taking line. 6.5 pounds.

      I'm holding the rod before i set the hook. But if it has a fish alarm, i let it run for a while.

      When you soak bait, the key is to let them run with it. When its a big bait you know its usually something with a big mouth to swallow it. I usually let them pull ...more it for like two seconds strait if
