Specks eat

[BaseballFisherman]

I've seen it first hand on two different occasions last year. I had a 10-11 inch sand trout on the line and as I went to flip it into the boat, a 4-5 pound speck snatched it off my line right at the boat and made off with it. The water was crystal clear and made for an awesome sight to see! The speck surprised me so much when it came shooting from under that little sandy that it actually scared me a little bit!

The next time, I had a very small speck on the line, probably 8 inches, and I was reeling it in quickly, skipping it across the surface. A few feet out from the boat, a larger trout came up and enhaled it like a top water lure and I ended up landing it. Pretty cool to see!

That's awesome!! I've had the same thing happen to me while reeling in a sandy, and I ended up catching it. It was probably around 5lbs
