That is an awesome shot.
However it gives me flashbacks of of 1989 when I had one grab a top lure of mine while fishing on Lake Lanier.
They dont like being manhandled at all.
My buddy said cut the line ,but I didnt want it flying off and doing more damage to itself with that hook in it.
I had to reel it in, cover it with a shirt and get the hook out.
That sounds alot easier than it really was.
Those tallons are like razors, and strong as hell, kinda like shaking hands with a crab.
A little neosporin, and yes a bandaid and off he went.
I will never forget that as long as I live.
