>>1063141And you didn't get anything with it? Idk man fish are weird sometimes.
>>1063146After I feel a bite I usually wait for the line to move a little bit then set the hook after i see movement. Even if I end up pulling the lure out of the bass' mouth the first time I can usually pitch it back to where I got bit and make him commit. Haven't had a gut hooked fish with EWG in a long time. The only recent one I can think of was with a wacky rig hook, but I got it out alright.
>pro tip If you can see the barb of the hook cut the like and pull the hook out backwards so the barb isn't catching on everything coming out
>>1063152+1 that's what I did with guy. I don't think it was 2 minutes worth, but it felt like a long time.
