$1 spinner bait 8 pounder!

I saw a bunch of bait fish starting to get pretty active in open water so I decided to tie on a medium sized spinner bait. The only one I had was one I got from Walmart for $1 awhile back. Regardless of that, I had confidence it would catch whatever was chasing the baitfish. On my third cast it was like all the bait fish parted to make a lane in the water. I got that gut feeling I was about to get a strike. Not a second later BAM
