A couple years ago on block, I hooked a small bass in the wash. As I went to pick it up, it was stuck on somethign. I flipped on my light and there was a length of libe running out of its mouth and back into the water. I grabbed the line and pulled in a section of line and fishfinder rig, the bait hook buried in its mouth.

Last night Strider had a decent bass on and I hopped off my rock to land it for him. As I went to lip the fish, I noticed something in the corner of its mouth. Upon closer inspection it turned out to be a weighted snag hook covered in barnacles and some sort of shrimp. Popped the snag hook and his eel hook out and let her go.
