Played around with some more Neko and bladed jig fishing today at Guntersville. Was re-rigging something and noticed a large-ish light spot about 4’ deep. Tossed the bladed jig down there to just sit while I was re-rigging. Went to reel in my bladed jig and it was a rod bending reeling. Got the bladed jig above the water level and realized I had hooked another line. Ok. No biggie. Had already found a brand new choppo and 10XD. So I started pulling in the line. Got the free end in and finally started making progress on the other end…wound up pulling about 100’ of line. Attached to the other end was a gut hooked half eaten LMB. That’s the light spot I saw about 4’ deep. Would’ve taken a pic, but it stunk so bad. I kept the swimbait jig head that gut hooked him though….

Well, ya got a jig head outta it and cleaned up the lake of fishing line. Win win. 
How big do ya think the bass would have been? Was it mono, braid?

Sorry to go all Sherlock, just wondering why it would have broke off a 100’ feet out. 

It was flouro. She would’ve been 2-3lbs. Her belly had been gnawed at (as well as her eyes). As for the length, man I can’t tell you. Maybe spooled out and your connection knot to the spool wasn’t strong enough?
