One time fishing with live pogies, landed a 15-pound bass, that had two other hooks that had been cut off at the wire leader coming out of its mouth. It looked like a catfish with all the wiskers.

Not sure if that fish had a death wish or not. Don't remember if I kept it or released it, as it was more than 25 years ago, but the visual of two, separate wire leaders coming out of its mouth and my hook with a mono leader remains glued in my mind.

I catch a few every year with a fly or hook in it's jaw. Caught a bluefish up in Wellfleet last year on a Castmaster. It had a small homemade wood popping plug in it's jaw.

Here's a true story: I was fishing HOM in Truro from the town lot. Not much happening. Soaking worms. My next door neighbor on his way to work in P-town walk down the beach to chat. I had a take, set the hook and broke it off. We looked at each other and I said " that felt good , wonder how big that was?". The next morning he handed me MY rig and pyramid. I tied it . He said that fish was 36inches, bub. Smiled and went to work. He had caught it literally in my footprints the next day.
