>>1301718I think it was just a tongue hook, not gills. That young’n will be ok.
>>1301741Kek, I had a little dink 8” LMB grab a jerkbait or something I was running like 6” under the surface a few weeks back. He hit hard for a little guy so I gave it a good hook set and skipped the fucker across the top of the pond halfway back to shore.
>>1301753I haven’t had the issue with the flukes so much, it’s the lizards. I have some black & chartruese and these cotton candy chart lizards that constantly get chomped on by blugill and Mayans. And the Mayans are stronger than the little bluegill so a palm sized Mayan cichlid will make you think you got a 3lb bass grabbing it.
