Well, didn't go as planned, stuck a 2.6, lost a 5+, and got swooped by an osprey. We laid a towel over the birds head as we pulled the hook (in his foot) out. The bird waited until its wings were dry enough to fly and he took off! Awesome saving the bird, as well as a good timepost-27662-0-15418500-1501050116_thumb.jpgpost-27662-0-55933500-1501050133_thumb.jpgpost-27662-0-07028300-1501050154_thumb.png

lol.. that osprey looks bleak. Great to hear he was released safely though.

 

A friend of mine hooked a pelican while fly fishing. People where screaming at him as he desperately tried to catch the bird.. then a dog charged into the surf to add to the chaos. Wish he got that on video...

Good start to using the bait. Thanks for taking the time and effort to unhook the osprey - they've got a serious set of talons to deal with. It gives swimbait fishermen a good name. I once had a brown pelican cone out of nowhere and nail a lunker punker. I had to unhook it twice - after unhooked it the first time, the darned bird chucked a hissy fit and managed to tangle its wings in the line and dragged the punker into them as well. Luckily, the second release went okay - the bird sat on the water about 30' away giving me the evil eye.

This past weekend we were fishing for funny fish off cape cod when we drifted into a massive school of bait and birds. I zinged a cast out wild a deadly dick and a seagull came out of nowhere and got hit. It was a PAIN getting the hook out of his leg. I felt wicked bad but he got revenge by biting my hand.
