Had a similar incident with a trout. A boy my daughter dated and I were at a small lake in town. It is well stocked with trout. I dont care for pellet fed trout but would fish them and release them just for fun. Sig "thats the boys name"were in a friendly competition to see who could catch the most trout in an hour.we were about tied when a 5 or 6 # bass ate one of my trout. Sig forgot aboit trout and started casting anything that vaguely resembled a trout trying to catch that bass. I cast a few times and hooked another trout. I just let him run around and after a bit the bass ate him. I to opened the bail and let the bass run abit then set the hook. The fly popped out of the trout and hookef the bass. I landed it much to Sigs dissmay. Lol we cant use live bait here so he cried foul. I dont keep bass that I catch in that small lake. Let them breed. I did have lots of fun ribbing Sig. Lol
Some folks fish to live. I live to fish
