Ugly fish
I've been fishing on a school of mid teen to low twenties size fish for about two weeks now, these fish have obviously had a rough life as of late... most are beat up with multiple hooks in them, one had a 7/0 treble in it's mouth that narrowly missed my thumb when I lipped the fish, the hook was in the side of it's jaw, witht he imbedded part fairly rusted out... it swallowed a 6" Danny as if it were the last supper.... surprisingly, they fight like warriors, leading you to believe they are bigger than they are... here are a few pictures of two of sorriest ones..
Fish 1 had about 30' of braid trailing it, the hook was out iof site but the braid had cut through the jaw hinge and halfway down the gill plate, the jaw hinge has healed over but the "cut was still fresh and bleeding where the line protruded, I was able to cut the braid inside the fishes mouth and slide the rest out the wound... the next fish looks to have a leigon on it... as far as I could see there were no scales on the "sore" .... the fish smased an eel that was half as long as she was and fought like Muhaid Ali....
