    The only time I have ever had that happen to me was back in the 90's when there was a drought and the water was real low.  As we passed the fish they would scatter but of course since the water was so shallow, a couple happened to leap right into the boat. Good thing for the fish I am a catch and release angler.   Right around that same time a large Buck just missed our boat by inches.  That could have been a a real dangereous situation.

    I've heard of people hooking bass and having the jump into the boat, but I've never heard of this hapenning!

    Did you measure the fish?  I'm always interested in length and girth measurements and you don't run across a 16 and half pound bass.  If you have the measurements or possibly a photo share them with us.  Uncle Tom
    I built my own lure company as a young man--thus the name UncleTomsJigs. It grew so well I decided to give it up and go fishing with family, friends and especially grand children. I became disabled as a United Methodist Pastor IN 2002 and retired here in Coastal Georgia on a 10 acre lake where I continue to fish despite my disabilities. My wonderful wife and I enjoy fishing together. God has blessed us in so many ways and we pray the same for you. I am excited about having so many new friends all over this great country.

    The state record is 16 pounds 4 ounces.  Link: http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/fishing/trophy/staterecords.asp.  Are you sure it was 16 1/2 pounds?  Do you have a picture?
