Spooled last night....

[The Dad Fisherman]

I had the same thing happen with a smack-it popper, bird swooped down and grabbed it while i was working it and off it flew......I set the hook pretty damn hard too

[Raven]

the treble hook ...hooked right over the goose's shoulder
and he just kept
staying in formation right behind the others ...

i was driving in uxbridge once and saw a V -formation of geese
flying over to the river when one goose suddenly started tumbling
like he had been shot with a shotgun
or had banged into a cloaked klingon bird of prey

he must have encountered a turbulance air pocket or
something because there was nothing visable i could see (no wires)
and the goose tumbled maybe fifty feet downward before recovering
his flight path... it was a very strange site.

I snagged a tern once on the fly, luckily I was fishing for schoolies in an estuary, so I had a real light tin on with a single hook that I'd crushed the barb down on, made getting the hook out a lot easier, although the bird was still quite angry and very uncooperative, made unhooking a bluefish seem pleasurable in comparison. I cant help but wonder what sort of rig you'd need to actually land a Canadian goose, hmmm?
