Super User retiredbosn Posted May 23, 2013 Super User Posted May 23, 2013 Genius here decides to practice his flipping accuracy. Standing on the porch steps trying to hit targets throughout the yard. Kept hitting short, back off tension knob.......well lets just say I got more distance. About 20 feet more and right into my son's car back glass!!! Ummmm not good, immediately stash my gear, go get my boy and ask him how long the glass has been cracked! It is completely shattered but still in place, I have no idea what's holding it there. Anyway off to the glass place to get it replaced, yes I'm paying. Safelite wanted 300 bucks glassmaster is doing it for 150. Bullet weight .15 cents Backglass 140 bucks Having my son thinking someone else broke the glass....... Priceless Honestly though my son will never let me live this down. I wouldn't lie to them 7 Quote

fowlskies Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Did you check his insurance policy? A lot of policies cover glass, even the bare bones ones. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted May 23, 2013 Super User Posted May 23, 2013 So you're a multi-species angler - And you were honing your skills prior to going after the elusive Glass Fish. I'd say you're ready. A-Jay 1 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted May 23, 2013 Super User Posted May 23, 2013 You are a scary flipper. LOL. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted May 23, 2013 Super User Posted May 23, 2013 Sounds like you scored a bullseye. Maybe your homeowners insurance will cover it. Quote

Gotfishyfingers? Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 May I suggest practicing in the BACKYARD next time?? Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 It takes a man of true character to snitch on himself. At least you didn't hook and land the neighbor's cat. Funny those cats...they fight like a steelhead. Quote
Bass Junkie Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Don't feel too bad, I'm sure you're not the first person! I took out a window as a youth, with a 5'6" spinning rod and a spoon.... Quote
