Pelican on a Zara Spook and an Aligator on a buzz bait. Of the two, the Pelican was more of a challenge.

Even with braid, it was a chore. Needless to say. The beaver won.

I felt sorry for the bird, until I grabbed him, then he clamped down on me. Felt like a pair of vise grips. Lmao.

He was released to go chase more topwater baits.

Man that fish looks good with my teeth.

The secret to dealing with a bird is, cover it's eyes. Throw your tee shirt over it's eyes and get a grip on it. They will become docile if they can see no light. I was able to cradle the Pelican once I got his eyes covered and remove the Zara Spook with pliers. I have also removed 6 pack plastic wrappers from their necks using the same technique. A gator on the other hand is a wild beast and goes into a death roll move. It's mano-o-mano if you hook an aligator and want your bait back.

You are exactly right. Once the birds eyes were covered he was motionless. He did bite down on me one good time before I got his eyes covered. Lol

Being from Louisiana, it wasn't uncommon to snag a gator now and then. Only difference was when we snagged a gator he usually ended up in the cooler with the rest of the days catch and a 22 to the back of the head.

When I first started dating my wife 1999 we went to priest at vivrett Creek area where there is that walk with rocks all the way around it. I was throwing a small curly tail grub. It appeared to be a family of snakes at the base of the rocks one actually launched at it hooked himself I bit off the line turned around and my wife was..well pretty much in the car. Good news is she later made me buy a boat. Lol
