Funny story about the duck Red. I've become a loon catching expert, myself. Got one last spring on a Wiley trolled behind an inline planer board. I thought I had a good muskie until the loon broke the surface of the water and tried flying away. I was able to get it boat side and unhook/release the loon, but that was a total disaster that I never wanted to experience again. Then just Sunday 4/28 it happened again. This one hit a short-lined Newman trolled off a side boat rod, but was a much easier release. I think my experience from the the one last year helped some too. Both of these loons hit the baits under water and were hooked in the beaks. If you fish enough, crazy things and catches can happen.
