While trolling plug cut herring in the Willapa, Buoy 9 area, my partner almost had his rod ripped out of his hands by a fish, when we got the fish to net it was hooked in the wrist, or caudel area. I don't have video of the take, however the violence of the take down made me believe that the fish tail slapped the bait.
By the way, I don't have video of my birth but I'm pretty sure it happened.
