Skunked @ Canal and around Chatham

foul hooked would be if the fish swiped at the plug, missed, but you set up and hooked the thing in the back.

snagged would be ripping a weighted treble through a school of pogies and hooking into a fish.

who knows if the guy meant to actually snag the bass. i guess after that, ethics come more into play than the law. at least thats how i would look at it. if the fish was fatally injured(ie bleeding from the gills) i'd keep it and eat it. wouldn't feel to good about it tho

I must be losing my mind???!!! Thanks for clarifying......I think I am having a bout of stupidity!!! Double thumb in my ear for me....one for Adam777 and one for Mike P. Sorry for my brainless moment!

Thanks for making me feel ok about the situation. I just cant believe with the water temps at a perfect level and all the bait its not a dinner bell off the backside. As I stated before I am no pro at the canal but I have been trying much more this year with about 10 or so trips and maybe 2 or 3 more left in me.
