i was fishing at a pond in tenesse for the first time it seemed like a good pond. it was early in the morning and i was fishing off a dock and saw about 3 or 4 big bass swim by. they were the biggest bass i had ever seen. i casted my popper a little farther then the bass. right when the lure landed a monster bass grabbed my lure. i went to set the hook and my bail was still open on my baitcaster. all i heard was the sound of a backlash as a reared back to set the hook >. and worst off i missed the fish :'(. i was pretty mad that i missed the bass of my life and to make things worse i had the worst backlash of my life, which ended with me cutting most of my brand new braid.
