Was fishing a local pond / lake for an hour or so late this afternoon and had my weirdest ever catch.
I was fishing double white maggot under a 2 1/2 AA waggler and a size 16 barbless hook on 4lb line and I caught.........
a 4-5" Swan Mussel.
The bite was quick and straight down, of the hook all I could see or get at was the eye which was out of 1 side of the firmly clamped together shells.
I did manage to winckle (excuse the pun) the hook out through the edge using some forceps.
Weird or what?
