cataching a fish with just a hook and no bait?
my in law was fishing on on the mississippi river and he was using a three way hook and 2 sinkers on the line, and he was jigging that thing pretty hard and quick but somehow he mange to a get a 24 inch northern and a 25 inch walleye. how did he do that? there was nothing on the hook, it was just a hook, and was nearing nightfall too and im not lying i saw it with my own eyes too.any thoughts how he did?
He was probably “snagging” the fish. Snagging is when you catch a fish by hooking it anywhere other than in the mouth without the fish trying to bite the bait. It is also ILLEGAL to snag most types of fish. Don’t do it.
