Hey guys I caught this bad boy or girl last night and as I was grabbing it I felt this weird spot on it so I put my glove on and looked at it better does anybody know what it is? Caught in the Iowa river kinda by Cedar Rapids in Iowa

I feel bad every time I catch a fish and the hook is through its eye!!! I just end up cutting the barb of the hook that way I don’t further mess up the poor little guy but man I wanna say it’s happened like 3-4 times now. Any tips on how to get it out or not have it happen so much?I caught this guy nice and clean with a top water no problems.

I have a husky that I honestly love and pampered her and took her in from a abused home and I’ve had her for over a year but due to financial issues and me having to travel for work I haven’t been able to spend as much time with my husky( kremlin is her name). She came from a abused background and she’s slowly coming around but she needs more love from somebody else. I feel bad having to leave her with dog sitters and she’s a good did she doesn’t make a peep and she’s usually chilling on her bed. I’m desperate enough to reach out to anybody on here I want her to go to a good home I feel so bad for posting this but idk what to do anymore I don’t want to give her to the humane society because she will probably get put down. She’s just needs tender love and care
