Last year, I threw a Habbs pencil into a pile of rocks and landed it on a seagull. I hooked the bird in it's back and tried reeling it in to take the hook out with with my long de-hooker. Just like a big fish, it went crazy when it saw me and the boat and freaked out. I actually considered getting it close enough to club it to death, but ended up cutting the line. I figured if the Big Guy Upstairs wanted those flying rats on earth, I wasn't going to mess with my fishing karma by killing one.
