We fished by the house today. Got to the landing about eight this morning. We fished with catawaba worms, blue bait and crickets. The bite was strong, but most of them were small. We threw back 150 to bring home about 60 Red Breast/Bream and 2 catfish. Most were red breast. :oBeagleMan managed to get hung up in a tree and while he was retrieving the line out he got the hook lodged in his leg. The whole hook, eye and all. Left a perfect outline of it in his leg. The weather kept the others out of the river. We only saw one boat, and it was turning around as the first rain shower started. We fished under a tree during the first two rain showers and then headed towards the hill about Two o'clock.

Yeah, this prob never happen again. The whole hook, barb, shank and eye were below the skin. It was tangled around a limber limb and He yanked it very hard. Shot it out kinda like a sling shot I guess. Hope it never happens again. He kept on fishing after he pulled it out.
