Who put THAT there??

Story time!

Found a cool little pond today on some property i have permission to fish. Was looking for a different pond on the property, and accidentally found this one. Only had about 20 minutes until dark so figured I’d just stop here and see if it held fish. Saw a roller on the walk in, so I was excited to maybe yoink a little ditch pickle out in a pinch.

When I got down to the bank, this is what I saw

*see pic 1*

I made a few casts to the left of this pic, but it was obviously VERY shallow on that end, so I lobbed my donkey rig to the far corner right corner of the pond. PERFECT CAST. Dropped it maybe two feet off the bank at the base of the little gulley.

^ this is a phenomenal artist’s rendition of approximately where I was standing on the cast. Please remember, it was already pushing dark.

I was snagged. BAD. Fishing truly weedless with the hook tips buried back into my flukes. 99% bulletproof. It just doesn’t get snagged. But it did.

Upon further inspection in an attempt to pull the snag free from whatever I was stuck on, I found this:

Needless to say I was done fishing for the evening… there was no getting the 🫏 rig back. Very rude of them to RUN BARBED WIRE UNDERWATER. RUDE.

Anyways, hope y’all had more fun fishing today than I did /: Tight lines!
