Sword of the Lord Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 ...got my trap back to me to see that what I felt was me smacking a fish in the eye and bringing it back with me. 1 3 Quote
Super User slonezp Posted October 15, 2017 Super User Posted October 15, 2017 That's a first. I've caught scales, but never an eye Quote
UPSmallie Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 That's pretty interesting. I once caught a 5 lb pike with a perch eye stuck in its teeth, but never caught one like that. Quote

Super User Dwight Hottle Posted October 15, 2017 Super User Posted October 15, 2017 It must have been a walleye. 3 1 Quote
BassB8Caster Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 I caught 2 3.5lbers today off a square bill by hooking them from the outside right between their eyes. Was very odd. Bite felt normal, set the hook, reel them in and hook is between the eyes. Very odd. A first for me. Quote
Sword of the Lord Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 It was a weird day in general. I also caught a dink by the belly on the same trap. Like, how? Magic lure. Quote
Super User geo g Posted October 16, 2017 Super User Posted October 16, 2017 Over the years I have caught several in the eye ball. The loss of the eye doesn't mean they can't be successful hunters. I have also caught bass that had a missing eye ball from an old injury. If it happens to you, leave the meat on the hook. It gives off sent, and some flavor on the bite. Quote

MichaelCopeland Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Well one thing is for sure, that fish never took its eye off the bait...lmbo! ? 1 Quote

Arcs&sparks Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 I was trout fishing a large pool I found, and couldn't quite get my fly to the bottom of the cascade, so I tied on a huge inline spinner to to a 7' medium fast that I had with me. First cast perfect shot, felt the bite and set it like it was a LM on a senko......whoops. All I got a was a large trout eyeball.... Would've been the best fish of the trip too Quote
