hesitant to perform surgery

Yea so would I. I would have pulled the Con out head first so the scales dont cut the P Bass. Good thing your mom fixed everything for you.

what are we talking razor blades here?

haha, so my mother visits my apartment, and sees the situation, laughs at me, reaches in, and yanks it out, both fish are perfectly fine. the pbass is already eating (blackworms, which are more palatable). it took her roughtly 10 seconds to solve the problem that i had pliers and a net out for.

that actually made me laugh quite a bit. After i read the topic, it was the last thing i was expecting! Good stuff!

But have your mom handy.
I was going to suggest doing what she did, I have had to remove lures from fish that way, and a bullhead from a LMB once.

I love mothers.
So practical unless it's their own crap that's having a problem.

My mom's the same way, yet she freaked out and dragged her cat down to my house to "feel her tumors" on the way to an EMERGENCY Saturday vet appointment.

Guess what? The cat's obese. Not tumorous.

Congrats on the great fish save!

Moms RULE.
