Ok Seriously,

Mr Krispy,

I keep reading how everyone has been taking fish by slingin eels this fall. So I go and buy some. I go to the beach and put one on the hook. So far so good. The problem is the slingin.

I think I do a good job of getting the eel in the sling shot (well, I use a wrist rocket instead)

When I release the sling shot the eel starts to be slung and then...Bam. the line from my rod (in the sand spike next to me) catches on th spool and comes shootin back at me.

what am I doin wrong???

I know I am an idiot, but I do live in MA.
