What do you do when you catch something that is not a fish?

Sorry to read that, Oldtimer. That Is a horrible experience, and completely irresponsible on the person that hooked you.....





I was on a family vacation when I was 12 years old.

I was visiting my Uncle in lake wood Ohio.
and rode a bike with a fishing rod over my shoulder and went to "Rocky River"

a place where my father had grown up and had taken me as a 3 year old kid for some fishing.

and I fished for anything...

I met a guy that had a fly rod and knew nothing of it, this was the first time i had ever held or tried to cast a fly rod, I knew not what i was doing, But i think i helped him learn a thing???

I ended up tossing my float and worm out, but unfortunatly the people visiting the area had been feeding the ducks with bread and what not.

and i hooked a duck in the bill..

I felt so bad as a 12 yr/ old, and even passer by's looked at me as what the "F" is this guy dong??

growing up in a country setting and knowing animals i was able to understand how to handle a bird, and easily removed the hook from it's bill.
