I love running limb lines every now and then. Actually just ran 18 and brought home 7 channel cats. But on the way back down the lake, this bird caught my eye. I brought the boat around to check on it, and yes it was caught in the line.
I cut the line loose, but left the hook in. The leading edge of its wing was torn pretty bad and the hook was stuck so I just left it in. Looked like the bird needed to rest and get some strength back. It was trying to bite me so I guess it has some hope, lol.
But seriously...so many dumb a$$ rednecks on the water leave their lines out and don't check them or take them down when they're done. There were several of these lines and none of them had any ID on them.
I put a piece of orange tape with my TWRA number on all of mine and I check them the next morning and remove them.
