Fish with hooks
One time fishing with live pogies, landed a 15-pound bass, that had two other hooks that had been cut off at the wire leader coming out of its mouth. It looked like a catfish with all the wiskers.
Not sure if that fish had a death wish or not. Don't remember if I kept it or released it, as it was more than 25 years ago, but the visual of two, separate wire leaders coming out of its mouth and my hook with a mono leader remains glued in my mind.
