All valid points Jenn......It was on his line for close to 90 minutes.....so he was very patient....Honestly I would have forced the issue much sooner. I didnt want to talk to him too much....kind of like when a pitcher is throwing a no-hitter and you just dont want to jinx it. I stopped my own fishing when he started walking it down current with the tide...ended up pretty far from where we started out.
