They are mean critters!
I was lucky to get the one in I caught earlier this year. I hooked it just on the edge of the lip and luckily I was able to keep the 2# test line away from its teeth .
I’ve lost several roostertails to them and I’m pretty sure I lost a jig to one last week at the same lake I caught this one .
