Was some tough jig fishing this past Sunday only managed three fish, maybe it was the heat. It started off normal, just skipping jigs under willows and logs.

 

Normal

 

Not so Normal, some how snagged him on the outside of its mouth...

 

Looks normal... felt the tap, set the hook, and he came in sideways... snagged him thru the belly. Crushed the barb on the new jig to remove it. swam off fine, but I don't think he'll survive.

And the whole time you know you just swung into a 4lber. Then you get it to the boat 

Wow, right thru the back.

Fish seem to have a lot more leverage when they get foul hooked.

Happened to me last week set the hook put up a good fight thought to myself it's a good one! Pulled in a one pounder sideways both crankbait hooks got him in the side. Very disappointing haha

At least you caught something!
