Otherwise, how a spoon with no line attached could get hooked onto one being trolled is, well, just about unbelievable. If you didn't snag another troller's line, and the spoon wasn't already hooked to the line spoon before you set that line out, then the only other real explaination is the line spoon snagged it off the bottom. That would be incredable odds to beat!
Thought about that, but it was not the first time I checked that line. We started fishing southwest of dumping grounds, but ran into lots of floating weeds. So we picked up and moved north and fished for at least another hour before catching the spoon. I agree it is unbelievable, almost did not post.
