I was wondering when someone would mention something about live bait[
] but really, you are sooo right, the chances of hooking a tiger like that are so rare, it was amazing to even think about, then for the hook to be in the corner of it's mouth, not around the teeth, is a once in a life time thing, imo. One more thing happened that had upped the odds against the fish not going in the boat, in all the times we missed it, as it came to the little net, the line got tangled around its gill plate and I kept telling Ira that that was going to cut the line but luck was on my side for once and with the skill of the netter being the most important factor the big fish got a photo op before he went back to his watery home.
Good times for sure, now if my luck will just hold for one more day, I'm hoping to get a deer tomorrow and that will round out my year[
