Not snagged, but odd.

Cruising across a lake at 25 mph and all of a sudden water was flying up all around the outboard. Stop the boat, go to the back and we had hit a trout. Fish was bent in half around the transom. Grabbed him and ended up eating the fillet opposite of the transom hit. That side was a bloody mess of mush.

Years ago I caught a pinball-sized rock. Almost perfectly round and smooth, has one tiny pit where my hook snagged it. Been in the tacklebox ever since.

I was fishing for suckers with two rods and was pulling them in fast and furious when it occurred to me I should by a wire rod holder for my second rod. about a minute later I snagged one up through the hole, price tag still on it. And I snagged a beaver who was swimming under water at Quincy reservoir.

The chain stringer had broken and the fish were all sinking to their demise.

We stayed on the same anchor while we all tried to snag the stringer, blind, cause we never saw it break. After an hour we had given up hope. I put my rod in a rod holder, and shortly after my rod just started to slowly load up. I went and grabbed it and lifted, to what felt like a snag. As I grabbed the spool to try and bend my jig hook with 10# braid, it lifted off the bottom. At that point I thought i surely had the stringer and as i lifted it further off the bottom it really started to feel like headshakes on the snag. I was pulling it form 28' and i had to be careful pulling it up because it was HEAVY like 8lbs. So i would pull up a foot and it would go back down 6". We were all waiting around to see if I had the stringer. After 20 minutes of cranking we saw that I had snagged some water logged brush. smh

Lesson of the trip, dont use chain stringers. Wish someone else would have snagged the stringer and the fish didnt go to waste, but I doubt it.

Fish killer.

Tell them about your biggest catch (snag).....dicksimp
