About 25 years ago at bundicks in the creek with my pawpaw, I got hung up and couldn't get loose. We were fishing "needles" vertically over a brush pile and he had just show me the technique to get unstuck. I tried everything and couldn't get loose. My paw paw even took the pole and tried. When he got upset and jerked it loose, it came up with about a 6" clam clamped over the bait and part of the needle. I never heard of anyone catching another one like that til now. Still makes me smile thinking about it.
