Something like that happened to my wife tubin' on some private ponds in NE utah. She caught a small bass on a rebel crawdad and while realing it in it was eaten by a toad laregemouth, she was freakin' out because she couldn't get the hook out, it had swallowed it head first (gutted the hook) with intentions of makking it lunch. I got the hook out and the larger fish was fine. The little one was hit by another lmb when it started swimming in circles. Good times...

[cool][#0000ff]I have had it happen several times on northern pike, largemouths and even big brown trout. Two of the most memorable are huge flathead cats (very predatory) and stripers.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]On the American River, in Sacramento, I once hooked a 10" rainbow and was bringing it almost across the surface when a big nasty striped bass boiled on it and swallowed it head first in one gulp. It was hooked on the spinner and I fought it for over an hour on 4# line and a noodle rod.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]It ran downstream to a big circling eddy pool and I was starting to whip it. It was going round and round in the current and I could get it to roll a bit. Just as I was starting to believe I might pull it off, some excited spectator jumped in the water to "help me" get the fish. The estimated 40# plus fish spooked and ran across the river and around a small island covered with tall willows. End of story.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I turned around to find the offender throwing gravel in his truck to avoid being made into bait...or worse.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Oh yeah, walleyes are sometimes greedy enough to chomp on small white bass too. I have not had it happen but witnessed it at Lincoln Beach one time. The big female chomped a small whitie across the middle, like the fish in the video, but it let go after a few headshakes.[/#0000ff]

I've had bigger fish come and take a serious look at what I had on...but haven't had one take the "bait". I think they've spooked just at the last moment.

That was cool, I've never had a fish do that, but I had a seal do that with a bonito that was about 7 to 9 lbs. that seal can sure swim fast, took about 200 yards of line in about 5 seconds. then it stoped and I reeled in the head of that bonito. that was somthing.
later chuck

I had a large musky take a half limit of crappie and my metal stringer off the dock at pineview(it was fastened to the dock with 2 hooks) in a violent torrent of fish and boiling water.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#ff4040]Okay so we all live in UT right. Lets just say your at Pineview and catch a smallie. Then a big ol' muskie swallows your smallie.....and you end up landing the big ol' muskie and it's big enough that you would like to put the guy on your wall. Let's throw in the fact that a DWR Officer is just standing right next to you and watch you do this hwole thing. Does he take you in for using Live Bait???[cool][/#ff4040][/font]

[cool][#0000ff]They are really paranoid about using live bait...or even a large piece of perch meat...at Pineview. The law is very specific. It says NO live bait and NO piece of perch meat larger than 1" square.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]There have been quite a few anglers who have been reeling in perch and had tiger muskies climb on. Some have even been landed. As long as you release the fish you should not be liable for a citation. However, I heard of one guy that brought a legal sized muskie through the ice after it had snarfed his bitty perch. He kept the muskie and he got a ticket.[/#0000ff]

I was at Rock Cliffs, either in my canoe or my tube, fishing for perch, using a jig/bobber combo. Had a fish pull down on my bobber, set the hook on him, and said "whoa", big one on. The fish made a couple of runs, but was able to bring it closer to the craft. I got a quick glance at him, a largemouth, good size one and just like that he was off. When I looked at my jig, I saw a 5" perch dangling at the end of my line. That largie took the whole thing in its mouth, but couldn't quite get the hookset on him. Pretty exciting stuff.

[cool][#0000ff]I got second hand information. Never heard how much the fine was. It was either too much or not enough...depending on your point of view.[/#0000ff]
