MattinOK Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 This incident centers around the purchase of my new reel. This is the first reel with a free floating spool I've owned. My previous reel (lew's laser) required both hands, and a hefty amount of force to toss a lure any decent distance. So I grab my rod with both hands and really fling out my lure. Backlash! Now for the good part. While I picking out the backlash my cat comes over, grabs the line off the side of the reel, lays on his back and mauls it for a while. Well, he get's good a tangled up around his paws and takes of yowling, half hopping/half running. So now my reel is free spooling at a fast pace. The cat gets about 100 feet away and stops, creating the largest backlash I've ever seen. This caused me to lose a whole spool (150 yds.) Berkley 100% flurocarbon. Then my brother and I had to get out the scissors and cut the cat loose. I was seriously thinking of shooting that cat... ;D Quote

Big Mike in Fl Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 late one night I was carrying in my gear to get rigged up for the next morning of fishing, I had been using it for saltwater fishing, so mos of the lures needed changing, well, seven rods in my grasp, and an okeechobee fats bag over my shoulder, and when I opened the door, my rottweiler rushed me in anticipation of me being home. before I could stop him, he had a nice big treble hook for a big salt water bomber implanted in his shoulder (thank god it wasn't anywhere worse) he freaked, waking eeryone n the house. and a late night run to th 24hour emergency vet was in order... man what a night. now if he sees me with poles in my hand, he goes the other way!

Carmen J Bernardo Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Rotty to Big Mike: "TAKE ME WITH Y-- Oh, snap! He got the big hookie stick with him again, I'm outta here." Gotta be careful around your pets and kids. They can't tell what a fish hook is until it's in them. Glad it turned out better than it would've. Quote
