Mississippi river smallie in Minneapolis, MN.
I've pulled some hooks from mouths and seen some gnarly scars but this is the first time I removed something that was hanging from a bass' butt lol
The line wasn't coming out with a slight pull so I didn't want to mess him up more. Snipped the weight off and hopefully he gets some relief. I'm guessing that thing hitting rocks and getting pulled around in current wasn't the most pleasant experience.
What's the weirdest piece of tackle or foreign object you've removed from a fish that you caught?
