I was amazed as how inaccurate they were when they would hit that buzz bait and miss and then you could watch them turn around and try again. I remember one Pike that hit at the buzz bait 3 or 4 times before he finally got it. The hardest part was not jerking the buzz bait when they hit at it the first time. Thanks for the video. Really exciting.
