CP,
That reminds me of a trip I made to Santee a few years ago. I was in the flooded cypress swamp, throwing a plug and I overthrew it and hooked a squirel up in one of the trees. I tried to pull him in so I could unhook him without getting bit or clawed. I eased under the limb he was on and he jumped and landed in my tackle box. He jumped out of the box still hooked to my line with 4 or 5 more plugs stuck in him and went over the side of the boat into the water.
By the time I got the slack out of the line and reeled him back in he had 4 bass hung to him by the lures he had stuck in him.
He got off before I could make another cast.
