this is one of those occasions where there is NOTHING you can do. it happens to everyone. it almost seems greedy to retrieve the plug, but if left in it's certain death anyway. i still feel bad when it happens..
but isn't gluttony a sin anyway? that fish was struck down by god himself.
after all my years fishing,(few compared to others) every year i find myself amazed by what some fish will consume. i've caught 5inch large mouths on 6inch broken backs. it's amazing how exploiting their natural instincts (usually replicating a dying baitfish) can cause them to strike with out any thought as to how to actually consume it.
however i must say.. i dont get how he crept up on a pencil popper, and or managed to hit just right where as to get i so deep. that fish did have some skills. pencils are usually dancing all over. to get the lined up dead center is impressive.
p.s.- thats my favorite plug so far (color included)
