re: Private pier on public lake

I had a guy come out when I was flipping his dock that had lights on it, kind of practicing for a tournament, I say kinda cuz I realize how dumb it is to go out and flip one of the 5 lit boat docks while practicint for a tournament,knowing you and everyone else will fish them that night, no matter what happens "pre fishing".
He said the dogs go crazy when the dock gets fished, he just moved there. I told him I'd leave, but he may want to prepare for about 20 people to fish there in the tournament a couple nights later. He sa8d,no it will be OK, they will understand and not fish my dock, that's on a public lake lol.

So I left and hooked the biggest bass I've ever felt, it was dark so I only saw him flash for a second but I saw enough to know that it was a bass around 10 pounds. Bit in 15 foot of water on a rock pile on a bridge. The fish straightened a 4/0 thick bmf flipping hook. The straight shank one. I had 50 pound braid on..

PS has anyone ever heard of that exact hook, made by reaction innovations , get straightened out alm9st all the way, and get off?
For those who aren't familiar with that hook, Its straight shank and thick as frick.

Moral of the story, that dickhead almost became my best friend with that stunt he pulled that caused me to change spots and hook my would be pb. Now I hate him more and for the life of me, I can't stop thinking about that fish.
It's been over 5 years. Lol
