It just wasn't his lucky day for this red. Kurt left his rod on the crossbridge and dangled the perch barely in the water to keep it alive while he did something else. You know what happens when we do that number. His rod jumped off the pier and into the water. He took another rod and hooked the line in the water with the red on it. When he reeled it in, the second hook snared the red as the first let go. That's his story and he's sticking to it.
