Fishing with a friend yesterday and he caught a small fluke in the strangest way possible - I've no idea how this happened.

 

Dropper type rig with a half ounce dipsy on the bottom, a foot up a 6" dropper with a Gulp

 

The sinker was though it's gills and out its mouth, the hook still free up above not even touching the fish

 

How the hell did that happen ???? :lost:

that dumb fluke thought the sinker was a crab :shrug: 

 

and somehow expelled it out of its gill :huh: 

It was the other way around . . . in through the gill and out the mouth . . . maybe the dropper was fouled up with the sinker . . . fluke hit the gulp and while spitting out, inhaled the sinker in through the gill and out the mouth.  Wish we could go to instant replay on this one.  Never saw such a thing.

I did that with a 43 inch fish with a schoolbus bomber 16a,not one hook in the fish but,the plug was stuck across it's yap on the inside.

I can understand the sideways plug catch as I have experienced it my self. My bass was 37 pounds and gave me a start when I had it in the wash and I couldn't see any sign of the 7" red fin.

Growing up in Pennsylvania, I used to fish for northern pike. I landed one once without a hook in him, one of the split rings was caught on one of his teeth and he refused to open his mouth the entire fight. I had to use pliars to force his mouth open and the ring fell right off his tooth.

Initially hooked in the lip/mouth, swam causing sinker to trail behind (close to gills), blasted water out through mouth ... essentially spitting the hook but simultaneously sucking the sinker through the gills and exhaling it out of its mouth.

May you never have to fish to live, rather live to fish.

most plausible yet, but maybe not even hooked. fish kept up with the drift retrieve speed and spit before being hooked might work better. angler felt dead weight or the spit and set. :shrug:

When I was a kid I was fishing freshwater with a worm on a hook, caught a perch and as I reeled it up a 5 lb largemouth grabbed it. I opened the bail and watched line peel off. I finally just pulled and there was a lot of weight on the line. As I reeled in with my pole doubled over I could see the perch coming at me.. I was confused for a second until I saw a huge ball of seaweed with a large fish in it. The hook had gone thru the perch’s gills and into the bass’s mouth. That was fun...
