Ever had a big bass strike your plug
 

while you are trying to pull the backlash/birdsnest out of your reel?

Ever gone a day without posting some dumbass thread?

Funny but true story...

I got my first keeper after reeling up the slack from an unusually large birdnest.

Ever had a big bass strike your bait
 

while your waders are around your ankles and you're taking a "#1"?
