The Bleeding Bass

[woody]

This bass was missing a portion of its tail when I caught it, by the large amounts of blood that was shed it appeared to be a fresh and a very clean cut at that. Anyways, at the time I was jiggin with straight 30lbs. Power Pro Braid, I've always wondered if somehow during the fight its tail could have been cut by the sharp braid line. I've heard a few of ya say that your catch had a bleeding tail, so I'm wondering if anyone else encounter anything like this. btw, it made it to the fryin pan.

Here are a few pics. of the Bleeding Bass, notice the missing portion of its tail.
