This is turning into a great fishing story.
If you net them it might not be legal to keep the big one as it’s not hooked in the mouth. It’s a new way to foul hook.
if you wait until the big one swallows the little one then you can keep both.
I have got two on the same lure. Both on different hooks so legal to keep both.
But you never had to tie another rod on.
I just had a huge largie hit that pulled the rod out of the tube rod holder and right into the water. I got it back because I was using a floating lure. The bass had shook off though.
I got the info I need from the weather network, sail flow and environment Canada.
it does appear the weather buoy measuring wave height tops out at 1.3’.
The pattern of cracks might lead to to the area that the trouble started. Poor welding, too thin of aluminum, not a good design. It would remove their claim of user abuse.
sad story.
