[cool][#0000ff]Thanks. I can come up with several theories, but I am sure that the real story is better than any I could make up.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Willard Bay is popular with trollers, for wipers. That "Producer" lure is a favorite trolling lure for wipers, but the cats in Willard Bay are sight feeders and often nab lures trolled for wipers and walleyes. Those silly kitties have even been taken on or near the surface while up chasing shad along with the other predators. So, the kitty hitting the lure is no big surprise.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]What remains to be explained is how the rod broke on such a small fish, and how the line got wrapped around the rod tight enough to keep the whole shebang together. There was not more than about five feet of line between rod tip and lure. I am guessing that there was a ding in the rod tip and that when the angler tried lifting the cat aboard the break occured. It must have cut the line at the same time because the line was pretty stout line. I can't see how a small cat like that would break the line.[/#0000ff]
