Sun evening at dark and after I was throwing a popper ( 1/2 inch apx 1x hook)

I got a hit about every third cast but only hooked two and one of those was foul hooked ( under mouth ). This went on for about 20 mins and the skeeters goot too bad plus it was very dark. I had been catching gills that day and maybe the popper was to big for them but I don't get gills at dark. SOOOO...

It was very hard to see but I'm not usually that bad. Do bass ever smack the popper with their tails or bodies and not take it. If not I'd like some advice to correct my mistakes.
