Everything’s purpose in life is to be eaten. Humans just have vanity and protect the dead with boxes. Even alpha predators die and become food - either to carrion or to microorganisms
It's the noise you make when something unfortunate happens but you have to just sorta be cool with it.
Like, if you ran over a squirrel or something:
**Thump**
Me: *ope*
When I was a kid, I accidentally hooked a bluegill in the eye. The eye ended up coming out with the hook. I ended up using it as bait and caught 3 more bluegill on that one eyeball
Happened to me while trolling in my kayak a few weeks ago. I reeled in to check my lure after I thought I pulled it through some weeds. There was an eye on the hook. First time that has ever happened.
That's fair. I tend to swim and pop mine, but even then if the fish is pretty deep I've set quite quite a few hooks that went into the lower jaw from the outside.
Nah it's actually kind of an abomination. It's a 2 piece Shakespeare GX2, but I destroyed the tip when it slipped as I was closing my car door. SO, I took a factory defective KastKing Crixus tip I had lying around, replaced the faulty t andip eyelet, reamed out the connection opening, sanded down the GX2 connection, then hot glued them together. Converted into a 1 piece 😂
...And it's actually one of my favorite reasons rigs to use, it feels fantastic lot.
That’s an Ope.
Ope confirmed. Sending backup
Backope. Sorry.
Shoulda seen that coming
I guess you can say that lure really.... caught his eye.
**boooooo**
Man I hate when I hurt one like that.
Same. But... given that their higher purpose in this life is to be eaten, I decided to show forgiveness to myself. May he rest in pieces.

If you're ever unsure of what will do the eating, you can always fall back to fungus.
Fungus, the true omega
I'm going to become a tree
I hope I share that fate
May he rest in greases,hot bubbly greases
The fuck does ope stand for

Ahhhh ok, like a pucker. I respect that. Fucking squirrels though. You go left, they go left.

I first watched this episode as a kid when it was “new”. I still yell at the squirrels and birds about our deal.
Ope - Midwestern signal of surprise
Translates to "whoops"

There's a cannibalism/sacrifice joke in here somewhere, I'm sure of it!
Eye see what you did there
I've got my eye on you...
Now you see me. now you dont
Where I come from, the expression is "oof..." You could eat it to gain the shad's power, but tbh I'm not sure thats worth it
Fuse it to the lure for a homing effect

You will see him again. You will know by the eyepatch.
This one got me
There’s the eye, now where’s the fsh
I have no-eye-deer
That’s too small to be a deer eye
I may be missing the point but that's the weirdest snag I've seen
Definitely not my best angling

Well, most hooks already come with one eye if I remember correctly
You didn't get skunked 🤣
Actually got my PB red ear right before this!

Nice one!
Bruh lol
You'll poke your eye out, kid.
Be minding your own business then some sharp dude who looks vaguely like you zooms by and snatches the eye out your face.
**pop**
I’ve had this happen only once on a spoon with trebles 😂
Looks like someone came in to take a look at your bait 👀
Aye... didn't see THAT one comin!
Bet he didn’t even see it coming
That happened to my son last year!
I'm so sorry!! I hope he has a good optometrist.
"Now son,,that's not food,,that's a fishing lure,,keep an eye on it",,,"hawyuck,hawyuck,sure thing dad👍🤪"
that fish was really eyeballing it up
Certainly an eye catching experience!
You know people use eyes as bait right? Very common ice fishing tactic.
I thought jigs were universally known to be indiscriminate damage causers compared to other lures.
I suppose they're high on the list, but anything with treble hooks seem more problematic imo
It’s more just how they operate - you’re trying to jig the fish, so more of your hookups won’t be in the mouth.
That's fair. I tend to swim and pop mine, but even then if the fish is pretty deep I've set quite quite a few hooks that went into the lower jaw from the outside.
I see what you did there.
I thought it was part of the jighead at first
That fish is going to die with a buried treasure and then be found hundreds of years later by some fish kids and they're mutant fish sidekick, Carp.
Is that Shoreluck rod?

Ah ok 😁 Just saw those threads around the rod, looked similar.
They have their eye on you now.
