Have you ever gut hooked a bass with a PLUG?
Kinda curious, please state the circumstances.
Type of plug/if you let it drift or you were lazy and let the bass run.
No spot burning necessary etc.
I'll let this run the explain what I'm getting at on Monday when I get home.  |

Gut hooked? Past the gullet and into the organs? Can't say I have.
Hooked so deep that only the line attachment eye of a 7" pencil popper was showing? Yup.
So much for the theory that "they always hit the head" |

Ditto. Had one last year take an entire Hawg Hunter 2 inches past its lips. Lots of deep hooked fish with jigs(not really a plug)

no, I get too excited to let them swallow the thing that deep and usually end up just pulling the plug/lure out of the things mouth (sounds kinda wierd).

I had a 36" fish take a 2oz Hab's and I couldn't see the loop on the front of the plug when I got it in. Kept it, it bled out real bad. That's as close as I've come I guess.

In my case, yes.. the rear trebbles were past the back of its mouth, down the back of the throaght (sp?) and probably into its stomach.
Obvously it came right up behind it and snarfed it right up  |

I said yes in the poll. My bass was gut hooked on the outside. Night fishing and the bass were thick in a current fighting over my A salt Bombers.

Both from the inside and out... and let me tell you this a bass gut hooked down the throat knows it's a gonner and will just feel like dead weight but a bass gut hooked from the outside will test your nerve as it will feel and fight like a much larger and healthier mouth/jaw hooked fish.

i saw the one pi guys talking about..that was bad.
i had a 10lb blue get salty buggers big pencil most of the way down, until the front treble stopped it and anchored its jaw shut. i just cut the plug off and kept the blue and performed surgury an hour later. when i cut the head off the back treble was way past the part i would consider the mouth.

Another pencil popper fatality. Hooked in the openning to the gullet and the other treble in the gills.That was on the second cast to the same fish, he was either very hungry or very selfish.

So anyhow, most say no.
Bass have a tendancy to stun and run.
Only on a full on feeding frenzy will they just eat eat eat.
I'd bet money on bass being a 'tactile' fish, as in when they do an initial pickup they're stunning then stopping with the crippled fish to get it pointed 'the right way' before swallowing. (Who wants spines?)
If they feel resistance (line) or it dosen't 'feel right' (mmm squishy) to them they'll spit it out and go look for something more edible.
Hooks on plugs just happen to stop them from doing their 'stun and run' tactic.
