I've caught a few over the years that had an old chunking rig in the gullet. The most memorable was a nice 25 pound fish I took on a 4 1/2 inch redfin. The bass struck the redfin and I set the hook. When I landed the bass my plug was nowhere near the mouth of the bass. One of the hook points on the redfin's back treble had gone right into a barrell swivel connected to a leader and chunk hook that was hanging out the bass's mouth. Sometime's its good to be lucky.
