Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations gut hooked bass

I don't know, but I hooked a LMB deep with a baited 4/0 hook. I caught the same LMB a couple of months later and the LMB was significantly thinner, with no change in the hood compostition. I removed the LMB.

IIRC, Bob Lusk had a LMB that had a plastic worm stuck in it's gullet and it caused problems for the fish. I think it died or was very close to death.
