Have you ever gut hooked a bass with a PLUG?

[leptar]

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 hate it when they're taken on the gills. What a mess, poor 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.
