Cement hole 5-718...

Went to the cement hole aka Hansen dam today. Got there at 815am and used raw shrimp and large nightcrawlers. Had 3 good bites on worms and kept farming the bites. 4th bite I catch a fish and it turns out to be one messed up little largemouth with 15-20lb test protruding from its belly. I tried to pull it out but I was going to harm the fish before releasing it so I threw it back. Then I was reminded that I could have cut it off before releasing it. All the bites were around 930am and they were one after the other.
