Default Interesting ASW Tactic.

I read last night in "War In The Boats: My WW2 Submarine Battles" that the Japanese were dragging hooks along the bottom of the ocean to try and snag the USS Crevalle. They managed to hook onto the Crevalle and drag it around for a bit until the Captain of the Crevalle decided to get away.

How often did they do this during the war? I never heard of such a thing.
