Re: The importance of catch and release
Yeah when I got home I was pretty hungry, a nice pike sandwich would've hit the spot! Haha. I also enjoy seafood tacos and bearded clam.
Stay with me people...yes it is possible this was a breakoff. But a barely visible hook in a very vulnerable spot very deep in the soft tissue of a big fish's throat, coupled with a short stub of very stiff leader, maybe even wire, 2-3 times thicker than mine, literally thicker than the shark rigs I bought in Ocean City NJ last year, in a spot that trying too hard to remove it would put the fish's life in danger, has me 99% convinced this was a release. Either way same result she's still alive and kicking.
Anyway Eskimo I am with you 100%. This fish has probably lived in that river for 10 years...try a hot pocket instead they are breathtaking (credit to Austin Powers).
