Red Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 had a monster break his line!! oh man it was funny(for me, he was pretty mad) so we were fishing on the golf course in a tank we didnt even know existed....i wasnt getting any bites on t-rigged powerworm...he throws out a t-rigged red shad u-tale by zoom...instantly he has a fish on...i said "is it a good one?" he says "yeah!!" so i run over to assit if i can and tell him not to horse it in...let it run...he is not the most savvy angler you ever met....anyway...the fish jumps and it is HUGE! biggest bass i have ever seen...6lbs plus from my estimation...it was long and fat....so he gets her right up to shore and SNAP!!! he takes his rod and like an Ax slams it on the ground twice...i said "dude dont break it!" he says "it didint break"....he is fuming and i am laughing....so he reties and makes a cast...the first 3 feet of his rod goes flying out into the lake with his bait....i almost wet myself it was so funny....and now he is cracking up too...and this was the one time neither of us brought more than one rod...but he did hang with me for another hour and a half and watched me fish.....so that was cool....he was using a casting rod some very old shakespere or something...and a cardinal spinning reel that i gave him....i told him to go buy a dang spinning rod now.... moral of the story...check your drag!! his was locked down as tight as it would go....i bet he never forgets to check it ever again Cliff Quote
Davis Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Good stuff. I too have the habit of just bringing in a nice size fish too fast. I need to have confidence in my hooksets and tire them out a bit. Quote

Red Posted September 24, 2007 Author Posted September 24, 2007 yeah me too...this guy out fished me all weekend....he catches alot of fish but i catch bigger...he likes to throw a little silver spoon...most of his fish range from 3inches to a pound or so...most of mine have been going 1.5-2lbs....cant seem to get any bigger, but i will stick to it, cuz i know that fatty he had on is in there as well as others i have seen cruising the shorelines Cliff Quote
