bastard comerens, sorry 'bout spelling, you know, the bird
 

had a pest comeren adopt me. it would just hang around just out of reach and still my bait. caught it once and i should of rung its neck when i had the chance. i tried to escape but it just kept following me like a dog. learned behavior, the bastard! fish'n sucked

Sorry to hear about your fishing day at la jolla giving you the bird. Had the same bird on me last week. fishing is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get! your mercy for the bird is very admirable!

In Japan they take a ring and fix it to the birds neck so it can't swallow whole fish. Of course they have a leash attatched to the ring. Could be a cool new way to make bait.

I'd like to ring those birds neck! cant beleive their protected. seen em clear a small lake of trout
