I have often wondered how long it takes a fishes drive to eat to recover after loosing a battle with the terrestrial bipeds.
My answer came a few years ago when my sons and I were fishing Strawberry. We were using 3 inch white tube jigs. I had just netted a nice cut. As I released him he swam down and away about about 6 feet when he suddenly made a hard right turn and hit my sons jig only a few feet from the boat. The fish changed its mind before it fully committed but my son and I had a good chuckle over it.
It also bruised our pride a little as we realized our success was a lot less related to our practice and expertise and more to the fact the the fish are just damn hungry.
