Does this count as a legal catch?

One hook using catapla worms. Hooked one cat and another wanted it too.

I'd consider it a legal catch, since both fish were attempting to eat the bait. The fact that they got entangled in the line is their own misfortune.

I've caught doubles on two hook rigs but never like this.. thought it was pretty cool.

Interesting catch. They love those Catalpa worms

My goodness how deep were those fish. I'm guessing 50+ ft.

Not sure the depth they were caught. I was sitting in 10 foot. I was bream fishing for flathead bait and decided to toss a rod out the back of the boat in a current seam when I got those. Actually lucked up catching 2 nice crappie though just dragging a wiggler on the bottom with a 1/8 ounce splitshot in an eddy spot on the river. The area I was fishing averages 10 to 18 feet deep in the channel bends. The flathead honey holes are around 22 to 35 feet deep on average. Depending on rain, it can push 40 foot in some areas.

never seen that one before , nice ketch
possibly legal depending on what state is my guess

If it is foul hooked then not considered a legal catch in most states I believe

it looks to be foul lassoed , not sure if the regulations cover that here in Texas although they probably should right ?
