I wonder if it's the same bird that's to blame. Usually they're way to smart to do that, but just like people, some of them have lower IQs(idiots)
I had a problem with the same type of bird a few years back. When I got it in it had like 6 other hooks in it's mouth. It looked like a Goth bird. I did my best to get as many of the hooks out. But as soon as I let him go, the simple bastard went straight for my next bait!
I think all the other birds we're ashamed of him
