guess thats how they earned the name snake, they need to learn how to unhinge the jaw more, wonder if he was thin before he ate it or if it caused him to be thin (stuck in there for a while. Last year i caught a largemouth that was super super thin, had mono comin out his you know, so i tried to remove it pulled out a sinker and hook that was corroded straight (missing the bend), hope he made it. But it did tell me they can spend alot of time without eating and losing weight if in a situation like that. About 10 years ago we found two pike floating, both were the same size about 28 inches, one had tried to eat the other and the pike went through his gills so they were in a X shape crossed at the heads, thank goodness muskies dont do that or theyed be extinct.
