More like Capt Incompetent. Or Capt Unprepared. My first trip out to the big pond and it really caught me by surprise. Plus I was not going to stick my thumb in that fishes mouth again. It hurt for a week last time. Shoulda, woulda, coulda took a photo next to the boat. I just don't want to handle big cats that much. I got spined in the palm by a little bullhead last year also. I could barely turn the handle on my reel the next day. I ordered special pliers the for it. They and my camera will be with me every trip from now on this season. I'm just a reckless fool when I fish.
