Saw Justin Hamner catch a 5 lber snagged in the lower side and belly. Was this fish snagged? Should it have counted?

As long as he wasn’t sight fishing, which he wasn’t, it is fine.

It was sight fishing. FFS. The hooks on those jerkbaits are sticky sharp.I like watching FFS and cuold see how when a bass gets close, it could easily get snagged.

A couple of weeks ago Scott Martin was using perspective mode to catch bedding fish. Could these fish be caught outside the mouth?

If you think it's possible to snag a fish using FFS, there's a fella over here offering 10K to anyone that can do so.

You think it was because the fish were following the bait and on the next jerk it was in the way ?

It usually gets the tail hook in the mouth, and during the fight the front and side hooks get dug into the sides. It happens with a long bait with 9 hooks.

I watch his post and love them! But watching the bait and fish it doesn't seem like it's impossible. I've seen bass snagged in the tail or side with a deep diving crankbaits., but had no idea they there.

I don't want FFS banned. I enjoy watching the bait and fish reaction, now that it is possible to see what the angler is doing. Bass should have that feed on every FFS , unlike MLF where you still stare at the anglers back. Embrace the technology. Maybe a rule change ?
