That happened to my son yesterday. He was pulling in a bluegill, and it was flapping about on the surface and a big ol’ largemouth comes up out of the weeds and gulps it right off the hook.
years back I needed a break from 5 kids at my parents cottage. Took out the boat, caught a perch, took the perch and put it on another pole, with double hooks on its back and let it run hoping to catch a walleye. Had a bobber on it and it was about 40 foot from my little fishing boat...then it died and I didn’t know it, it went belly up and I caught a seagull....but the gull dropped it when it was about 2 foot out of the water...glad cause I didn’t know how to get a seagull off a hook..
