good going man on helping the little guy out. myself and a buddy (adam) from lomond did the same thing only this was on travers and a rather huge fiesty pelican. we chased the pelican clean across the lake with the boat and caught it with a huge fishing net. then adam screams at me grab the beak grab the beak as i unarmed and now jousting with the darn thing till i grabbed the beak, removed all the line and sinkers and cut one line close to his throat because he swallowed one of the hooks. we figure we gave it a fighting chance. hope he survived. but this was a snagged and broken off line near the shore not a deliberate set up to poach.
