Default "The Kamikaze Hawg Bass".... a fishin` Tale.

"The Kamikaze Hawg Bass" a fishin` Tale.

Gotta tell ya `bout this one Gang....

Was out & about in my `Yak at daybreak today..... havin` a go at some Largemouth Bass.......And this was one mornin` I wish I had brought the `ol Go PRO....... because of what happened. Wasn`t out in the `Yak ten minutes, when this big Hawg nailed the Zoom Fluke I was tossin`......What fight! The monster Hawg dove under the `Yak several times peelin` line from the reel & makin` the drag scream!

After several spectacular jumps, the beast of a Bass dove under the `Yak once again........And the thing that happened next, well..... let`s just say I`d have a better chance at winning the Lottery before seein` this happen again......

The powerful BucketMouth literally burst into the air literally in front of the `Yak........ I could not believe how high it jumped as it broke the surface!....... As it came back down, it abruptly hit it`s head on the front point on my `Yak....... and slowly slid off the side back into the lake.

I stared momentarily in disbelief.......I couldn`t believe what I saw had just happened.....

The Bass quickly came back to it`s senses and darted about a bit before I finally netted the gallant warrior greenback.
Barely hooked in the lip, I quickly removed the Zoom Fluke, snapped a couple pictures and went to release the beautiful Bass back into the lake...........

And realized something was wrong......

As the Bass appeared to be recovered, but couldn`t hold itself right-side up......

Apparently the Kamikaze Hawg Bass was indeed just that........and at the end of the road.

Now I basically always practice Catch & Release...... but I also don`t believe in wasting a good fish, when it`s injured and isn`t going to make it.
So that Kamikaze Hawg Bass was enjoyed by a Friend who had been asking me for a fresh fish tonight, after I filleted it for him..........

The Kamikaze Hawg Bass was 20 inches 5.3lbs......

THE END.

Nice Larry indeed there Ken!! Some crazy fight too! Good thing you tossed em to someone that'll eat. 🍻!! If I'm in clean water and have a mishap where the fish doesn't make it, I'm usually the one taking him home. But if I have a mishap where I usually fish, in the dirty river water, I call up a fellow that I've seen keeping these fish...any fish.😵 Took his phone # for this exact reason.😀
Dope report & sweet Larry!!
