You wuz bear huntin with a switch

Awesome!

In summer it unfortunately happens fairly often. Especially if you pull them up from deeper waters. You can release them fairly well in winter and early spring. When they grab onto light tackle they will fight themselves to exhaustion. I’ve seen a lot of people toss them into the water head first like a torpedo, apparently that gets them headed back deep and an oxygen rush luckily, they are delicious You are a brave man haha. I’ll striper fish in small craft but not there

Here’s that 42 my cousin caught They might die of exhaustion but I would imagine a Maine striper is top notch table fare . My buddy caught a 39 lb on a drop shot in summer and it died when he landed it

What ya gonna flip the docks with, jig?

It feels like somebody smacked my rod with a stick when I get a jig bite with 15 lb invisix, it’s crazy sensitive. I’d probably use 65 braid for that level of strumming haha

The only two fish parasites I know of are black spot disease and the little yellow grub worms. Never heard of anything in the stomach and I guess the photo is just blurry on my end. I figured he mistook part of the fish intestines for worms

I still haven’t seen the worms

I was just saying why they probably don’t do it, first time they would try it would still be frozen or the waves would be too big to let them launch

Honestly Ive only used floro less than a year and have never flipped heavy cover. But I could certainly tell there was a difference between floro and mono. Floro is springy and heavy. Whether the difference is positive or negative is up to the beholder I guess, so far I’m still a mono guy.

Unfortunately that’s next to impossible, the dates are set way too far ahead of time and ice out isn’t a day on the calendar

You gotta strum it gently I reckon

When Americans hear that sentence

Now you’re talking! And hobie has a drive system

Oh there’s a difference. You can feel it right away, some people love it some don’t so far my description of floro is like using a tuned banjo string .

It’s all good since he caught some smallies

How’s your chicken wing?

People do it all the time , obviously not like the one in the GIF. I’ve went down a 4 foot or so drop unscathed I remember all I could see over the edge was the button on the top of my buddies hat

Yeah and you aren’t taking a carbon fiber kayak down a waterfall made of boulders either

My canoe cost me $300 and is much more durable and can hold one or two people there’s a sucker born everyday

?

If you heard it on the internet it must be true

I can’t really see any worms, which part ya talking about?

Oh yeah it would definitely work, tough shot tho
