Who hasn't caught a 900 pound bass. Most of the ones I catch are by using 50 pound shiners and size 30 Ott circle hooks. The hardest part is casting my Penn international gold reel with 1000 pound test line further than about 2 feet. Those 1000 oz lead sinkers help a bit.

Lie cus the heavyest bass was 22 pounds so stop the cap

As a kid in Illinois, we would fish with live mice for bass. A large weedless hook rubber banded ( those used on braces ) under a mouse. Float it on a stick to where you want him ( edge of the lilly pads ), and jerk him off. A SWIMMING MOUSE GAINED IMMEDIATE HITS! If you were lucky, the band would break so you could catch another.

Yeah, it can be stressful not knowing what might very well have happened. I appreciate the support

When I was a "Keeper" at a zoo, I ordered chicks (baby chickens) to feed to our raptors (eagles, owls & hawks.) They came like that, frozen solid in a plastic bag in a corrugate box. I had to take them out of the freezer the day before so that they would be thawed for the birds to eat. I did not worry. I knew that I would see them again when the owls regurgitated their "Owl Pellets!" 😉

"Rats may be small, but they're mighty bait for those who seek the monsters of the deep.

It's a testament to the circle of life in the waters, where even the smallest creature plays a crucial role in the pursuit of the ultimate catch." 🐀🎣

@@kierra_mist When I saw that he went to Pet Smart? No. I stopped watching. Because I had pet rats for years. The reason I stopped was it was too painful when they Passed. Couldn't handle it anymore. That's why when my last 3 cats die, I won't get another. But speaking of...do you know I could put one of my pet rats on my bed with my cat and they wouldn't even attack it? Granted, both were raised in my Apartment, but people talk about "instinct" and all that, but they actually played together. It was Amazing to watch! So, yes I'm a little sensitive and biased. Sorry about that. PS I'm also a Fisherman, and I also throw them all back. I just love all God's Creatures. I catch spiders in a cup and let them go outside. If they're small enough?
