I was with a friend the other night and trying a new pond. Unfortunately I had my baitcaster with me beacause I thought there was too much cover for a fly rod. But anyway, I was fishing a crankbait in a little cove and hooked up on something BIG I had him hooked perfectly... I think... but this fish was not like any bass I had ever fought on the fly or lures. It would shake it's head and dive down. Unlike a bass, pulling drag out and away, this fish stayed put and would make runs deeper and deeper. Who knows maybe it was a bass but I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on what I hooked up with. It would shake it's head and run to the bottom and might have moved a total of 20 yards to my left before it shook out the lure. My rod was completly doubled over, this rod is my heaviest action bass rod and very hard to double over. But does anyone have any ideas or any fly suggestions that could work like a crankbait??? Anything will help as I am baffled as to what it was.
Thanks,
BC

P.S. If it helps any this was in a decent size lake. Maybe 5+ acres.
