PB calico. This alone would make it a fine month. Got stuck twice when reeling in. I was able to un-stuck it by lower the tip of the rod and wait for the fish to un-snag itself when it tried to swim away. Bent my 1/0 circle hook but did not completely straighten before landing it.

Oktoberfest
Trick-or-treaters are gone and October is at the end. Wish I could fish as much as I did back in June but in all honesty October has been a decent month.

Close-to-PB sheep. This one is hooked on a #2 circle and almost straightened it. Debating with myself whether to get 3X strength hooks. Man they are expensive... Here is a look at the hook right after landed the sheep.

Re: Oktoberfest
Once in a while I hit the sandy beaches, and meet good ol' surfy-fish there.
Once in a long while, mi boi joins me...

Re: Oktoberfest
To wrap it up, I will echo the Halloween theme with a spooky-looking HM. I think it was due to a shark bite, rather than some nuclear mutation...
October is behind us. Let's see what November brings.
Tight lines!
