Awe man, I think the hand is better than what u just showed me- as a kid I did that same thing to my father casting a bass crank from a canoe in illinois. Hooks suck but atleast we know how the fish feel and can empathize for em.

......sitting at home. Yeah, I was hooked to her trying to untangle the bait from the net as she thrashed putting a 4/0 thru my finger fishing alone, she was an onry girl to say the least- in and outta the water.

 

So here I am pinned with one hand stuck to the bait which was stuck in the net still hooked on the fish keeping me from being able to move in the back corner of the boat.

 

I was lucky and had my bolt cutters right there with my pliers or i woulda been f#cked. 49" on the bump board without pinching the tail, coulda made her 50" if I wanted but pinching tails is for noobies.

Lesson to be told is, have Ur damn cutters ready even if u don't think you'll need em.

I also want to mention that 3/4 of this year's spring Chautauqua fish I've seen have big 2"-3" open wounds on em.

 

I'm not the most knowledgeable person but to me- they look more than just spawning scars n I was speaking with Todd Young and Ivan about their opinion on if we r on the verge of another red spot year.

 

Most fish have wounds on just one side which makes me think they r not spawning scars, I'd imagine another fish spawning would nip sides of another fish at a 50/50 ratio but as metioned, I am FAR, FAR, FAR away from being knowledge about this subject and Im just an observer.

 

Didnt even wanna put my hands on this poor thing.

Gorgeous fish Chad, we should all feel honored to chase one of mother nature's most beautiful beasts.

I need to check but think that 87 fisherman got 28 fish.

48.5 was big fish, there was a 47 n multiple other 40s caught. Casting bite got super hot after the low pressure system over the night brought the fish from the open to the weeds.
