I'd get my plug back and then feed the crabs....they gotta eat too.

I'm the kind that always gets caught if I tried to keep it.

I've had it happen twice. Once with clam's and the fish inhaled everything. I did manage to get the hook out but he was bleeding big time. It was dusk and I in no way was going to keep a short on a beach that is regulary patroled. I watched him struggle and he did die and wash back up. It sucked to watch that. The 2nd time was on a plug foul hooked and I did some major damage on the retrieve to his gills. He was just about DOA. I fed the crabs with him as well. I think you got to put them back in no matter what.
