Super User N Florida Mike Posted September 17, 2016 Super User Posted September 17, 2016 Was doing some casting out back yesterday and when I reeled in,this was the result.The fish bit the whole middle out of the Zoom speed craw without getting hooked.I didn't feel the bite either,which is also strange . I also had a fish break my line,and 1/2 hour later caught him.Both bites on the speed craw too.I think I have a burr on a guide with that rod but I can't find it.The craw and hook from the break- off was in his mouth. Sorry for the tilted pic.You can see the bait against the sky. Quote

Super User N Florida Mike Posted September 17, 2016 Author Super User Posted September 17, 2016 I thought maybe a gar took a swipe at it on the way down. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted September 17, 2016 Super User Posted September 17, 2016 Something with teeth for sure! Also to check for your burr, take a q-tip and round each eyelet. The fuzz will stick and show you a bad spot! Jeff 3 Quote

Super User geo g Posted September 17, 2016 Super User Posted September 17, 2016 Definitely looks like a gar bite. We lose plastics all the time to gar in the everglades without ever hooking the thief!!!!! 1 Quote
