One of my luckier catches taken in Newport:
"Once on shore I noticed she was hooked in the mouth with the Redfin, the short leader of the Red Gill dropper I was using had broken off my swivel and was hooked in her tail. And closer examination revealed that my Coastlock snap had opened but the Redfin remained connected."

We have all had stories like that. I have had a few where once the fish is landed the plug just falls out of the fishes mouth or when the front of the darter is wedged deeper into its mouth than the rear so just the pressure of the tight line is keeping the darter from coming out.
