Chris, Same thing happened to me- sort of. Fishing in Pensacola, spotted a bobber going by fast and fairly close, bobbing up and down as it went. Cast a charlie just in front, let it sink a second, snagged the line just below the bobber. Attached at the bottom end was a nice speckled trout, which I proceeded to land.
I saw, I cast, I hooked, I reeled in and landed and released. And he had never been caught as of yet, officially. He was legally hooked in the mouth, but by a bait hook. Legal catch?
