Was out the other day fishing in a tight area with 20 other boats. The boat in front of me hooks up in the hot spot so I turn off and give them plenty of room to play the fish. The boat behind us continues on and tangles up the fish as I see him cut his gear off. By now I’m 100+ yards away when it looks I have some weed on my line. Pull it up and I’m hooked to another line. I think I’m tangled as my other rod starts jerking too. Pull the downrigger on the other side and there is a fifteen lb spring wrapped up on the ball. My son grabs the net and I hand line the spring into it and pull it in the boat.
I did return the fish to the other boat but a few people I have talked too said I shouldn’t have. I was curious on other people’s opinions.
