Fished for sturgeon in the Columbia with long, extremely stout rods, Penn 6/0 reels and 80# Maxima. We used fillets of lamprey on a 6/0 treble. One morning we were awakened to an awful yowling and rattling, bouncing sort of noise... LOTS of noise!

Buddy's wife's cat had jumped about 4' in the air to grab a baited treble (likely from the bumper and not nearly so far) and was suspended.

It was not a pretty picture; his wife was very unhappy; I remember vet bill discussions but do not remember if the cat went that route...
