So I had a fish break my line today. Of course , I mumbled and grumbled to myself, trying to understand why.

This was early in the morning. I fished all morning and came in with some fish to eat , and thin the herd a little.( I dont keep anything over 16 inch.)

Anyway, I get through filleting the fish , and glanced one more time to make sure I had got them all. 
Then I see a worm and hook in the bottom of the cooler. Im 100% sure it’s the one that broke off. Same worm and hook. I know its the same hook because it was the only one I had just like that...my last gammy 3/0 w/g in bronze.

I must have caught the same fish that broke my line later on somewhere and somehow didn’t notice the extra worm and hook. And it’s strange that he was able to work it loose or spit it up somehow.

Cant think of another possible scenario...?

And I feel better about the fish that broke the line- now I know it wasnt a hawg...
