Now THAT's Entertainment! Glad he got to keep all his fingers. I've been standing on my bow, and had one slam the edge of the boat right by my foot - spooky!
I've also had a caught perch swallered up - landed my first Musky that way - don't think I ever hooked him, just stubborn enought to NOT LET GO! Can't say I blame him, those perch are tasty!
I'd got a bit worried about rinsing the blood of a perch after unhooking it. Decided splashing, blood, perch, fingers - not a good combo to present off the side of the boat!
Seen a stringer of Bass at Pineview that got chomped by a Musky, even heard of someone wading with a stringer attached to their waste. Now that would shiver yer timbers!
Was pulling in a little bass the other week, and the fight got harder - so I'm lifting a good size bass out of the water, when it falls off - as I re-lift the line, realize I've now got a small bass on, then he flipped off. Yup - munched on the way in.
At least your kid'll have a good story to tell his buds for years to come!
