Question

Have you ever hooked a fish that then became the bait, while still on the line, for a bigger fish?

Answer 1

Yes, one time we were out on a deep sea fishing boat in Florida, and I had a nice Red Snapper on the line, and right when I saw what it was I felt a big tug. I come to find out that a damn shark decided to have a easy snack and we had to cut the line. It made a funny story and we got more fish to make up for it, but that was my first experience with that.

Answer 2

This happened all the time on the chum boats fishing for bluefish in New Jersey. You'd have a nice blue on the line and a shark...sometimes a blue shark ( a lot of fun to catch and so beautiful) would be attracted to the chum and commotion and become your next catch. We would cut them off as landing a shark on a party boat would not be a good idea.

Answer 3

Yeah had Kings get eaten by sharks
