Aug 26, 2007. 1:37 PMpas12334 says:

when the fish bites the hook it starts to go away from you then the hook will still stay on the fish

Aug 7, 2007. 1:17 PMemericanskater says:

if u but bait on it they swallow it being the dumb fish they are and you pull it up having it hooked hopefull on the lip or on the mouth somewhere

Aug 11, 2007. 7:22 PMshadow12952 says:

actually i catch fish w/ paper clips all the time but i sharpen them w/ a file. i use this but tie fishing line and corn as bait and its easy to catch them
