With the "V" shape wound, I could see a snapper doing that but I've seen too many LMB with stab wounds and the same type on that BG. But that IS the first BG I've seen hit. But I suppose it will happen more as they get bigger. [/quote]

I've seen Cormorants (water turkeys) do the same thing to young LMB here in SE Texas and the fish make it to adulthood. They leave a similar scar.


...when in doubt...set the hook...
