Last year in CC Bay I was trolling and jigging. I hooked what I new was a fish because of the headshakes so I handed the rod to my wife. She realed it in and got to the jig but no fish. She was reeling for a while too. Then I noticed the jig was caught on wire. I pulled in by hand about 50 yrds of wire and a keaper striper. I don't now how long it was attached to the wire but the fish was fine.
Caught a 10 inch trout the other day with a hook in its stomach and 3 ft of leader hanging from its mouth. It was still healthy enough to take my bait and fight.
