Broken Line

[Cousin Vinny]

I went fishing in a small private pond this morning. I was doing rather well though its not a large compound so the LMB were between 13 and 17 inches long (sorry, no scale)

I hooked one on a hoola popper and while i was bringing him in, the line broke. I figure it was fray or fatigue from the previuos fish.

But now this what seemed to be a possible 2 pounder (definetly larger than the others I have caught there) is swimming around with this nasty lure in its who knows where. Those types of lures have a habit of catching fish in the nose, head, tail, where ever

Do you think it can survive like that or will it die :'(??

    It will survive.

He'll jump and throw the lure before too long.

Thanks guys. That makes me feel allot better .

Yea, he was juming like crazy before I left. I figure he was mad about being stuck with my lure and I was upset I lost the lure, then I was upset about his prospects for living.
