About 1983, in a strong current, I once hooked a good striper in the lower lip area and reeled him in with his mouth forced open. He was good size but didn't fight much since unknown to me his stomach cavity was filling up with water. I put the fish down and was amazed at the girth of the fish thinking this was probably one of my heaviest fish ever. The fish then proceded to pee for the next couple of minutes what seemed like gallons of water, and my big fish continually shrank down to a final weight of 35 lbs.

It had a look similar to that fish there when I took him out of the water.
