Orthopedic Doc: “Is there anything in your lifestyle that could be contributing to your back and shoulder problems?”

Me: “Nope”

I am thinking nobody has had this happen before. In Canada fishing walleyes, smallmouth and pike. Throwing jigs on a rocky shoreline. My son hooks a pike and gets it halfway to the boat when it breaks his line. We barely see the jighead visible in its mouth as most of the jig is inside its mouth. I had casted after him and so I was reeling my jig in near where it broke his line. I saw it go toward my jig and thought, damn, it is going to grab my jig too and cut my line. So I was a little quick on the hookset. Somehow, I hooked my son's jig in the pike's mouth and pulled it out of his mouth...without catching the fish, I recovered his jig. The only thing I reeled in was his jig, with his Gulp impaled on my jig. How many times could you try and do that without it happening? Millions for sure. Recovered the jig without catching the fish.

My buddy hooked a steelhead in Salmon River NY and broke off on branch. We were drifting together standing next to each other. I made cast and got hooked up with nice steelie. As my buddy was landing it for me he started laughing! My egg sack hook went thru his leader swivel opening and I "hooked" his fish. So who's fish is it really? That was insane!
