jumping flathead!

 went for a flick today to try and get my first bream on plastics, no bream but ended up landing 4 flatties the biggest being 42,.The next hit I got was from a thumper flattie that hit at my feet and took off, got him almost in when he turned and jumped, and threw the lure! SHATTERED! didn't know they did that, is it a common thing?

I cant help think that memories of ones that get away stay with you longer and clearer, and so by association are some of the best fishing moments through a life time.
