Pond Boss Forums FISH & FISHING Sunfish-Including Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass Getting wild bluegills on feed

My buddy from Colorado was fishing with me one night on the river here and hooked a big snapper. As he was reeling it in with his pole bent double he told me he had a snag. He gets it up near the bank and his eyes turn the size of dinner plates. I reached down and grabbed the tail and could not close my hand completely around it but managed to get it up on the bank. My buddy turned to me and asked what to do now. I just told him, lose your hook or lose your hand, your call. He cut the line.
