Had to get my lucky jig back, right?

On the serious note, he was done fighting within 10 min and he just hunkered down. I replaced the treble on the jig with a massive single hook that went through and through on his lower jaw. No way in hell was I wanting to get B slapped trying to pry out my jig with pliers. Of course cutting the line would be a good option, but I was worried he was too green. Granted, he at surface in about 10 min. There was a lot of superficial damage to his face from jig smashing into his grill. Is it possible that I was drawing his mouth closed and it suffocated him? Well, this is my first harvested, not my first caught. Hopefully, my last harvested. Free pick up in Burbank, if anyone is interested. Neighbors will take some. I decapitated him immediately after gaffing. Severed the tail off to bleed out both ends. Hopefully to reduce the urination and gamey taste.
