Spectacular! This takes sight-fishing to a while new level

A tidbit of a story-worthy event happened to hoTTuna and I a few days ago.

We were fishing our local pond for bass. He was using a dollarama pink-tailed grub and i was using a dollarama frog. As the evening went on, he was clearly out-fishing me.

He finished landing a fish and said he was good for the night. I still wanted to get another one, so he offered me some of his grubs to try.

But I didn't want to use the grub, I wanted to show that the frog worked. I called out to him "But I want the frog to wor...." BAM fish on. It ended up shaking free, or else I could have to put a picture to the tale.

Funny coincidences happen all the time. Needles to say my vocal expression of desire for the frog to work didn't help on subsequent casts.
