Really?!



A freshwater mussel, I presume? It took a shine to my minnow lure, and was hooked fair and square in the chops. It soon spat the lure out once it was on the bank, though.
I have caught these in the past when fishing with various baits, either at dead depth or layed on - I always assumed they homed in on the smell. I've never heard of one taking a lure on the retrieve, though. I wasn't even tripping bottom, as far as I'm aware!
