A lot of times you'll mark fish, drop live bait down to them and get a lot of short hits that bangs your rod in the holder. Bring up the bait and it's either gone, skinned, or bit in half.
That would be gar or catfish most likely.
If that happens a few times with no hybrids hooked up, pull lines and move. There may be a few hybrids there but most likely you'll wind up losing most of your bait to short hits.
Been there, done that, too many times.
