Happened to me out on the reef at Weakapaug a few years ago. 14# bass hanging off my index finger. I was alone and it was in the middle of the night. I kept saying, What do you do now?" I just hugged the bass to my chest with the arm that had the hooked hand and ripped the hook out with the other one. Never forget it. The plug was a 7" chicken scratch bomber.
