A few weeks ago I was with two friends testing braid to mono for the first time and a wacky worm, since I'm not familiar with knoting two lines I tried a Uni knot but somehow it wasn't a right knot.
First cast I set the hook and lose my leader + tackle, I rigged a new set and resumed my fishing walking along the shore of the pond. Forward 20 minutes and I'm casting back at the same stump structure with a spinnerbait and I get a fish
It was the same that ate the wacky earlier. As I was about to free the spinnerbait I noticed it had a line hanging from the mouth and there was the worm+hook inside, I felt so relieved as she did not swallow it but was keeping it inside her mouth, I was so puzzled and it was a small one so I didn't thought about taking pictures, but the 3 of us were shocked for the rest of the fishing trip.
Once I was fishing on a small dam and as I lifted the fish out ot the water it freed and came down hitting the rocks and landing on the shore of the small creek on the other side, 5mt.
She died from the fall and two minutes later it was being ripped of by the craws but I felt so down all the day.
