One night I threw a 9" AC Plug out of pure frustration on a very small South OC bathtub, errr... pond- this little cement craphole has never seen a trout, but the first cast surprised me with an aggressive little one pounder jumping on the plug, and about 10 minutes later a nice 4.5 crushed it, very nice surprise- a big lazy meal is all those fish cared about, they don't have to be trained in trout eating to jump on your big baits.
