Yeah , I caught the top half of my own rod. I'd cast a mighty cast and the line got wrapped around the tip of my favorite 2-piece. Off it went and the line snapped. The water was cold and I couldn't talk the wife into going in after it. She made it perfectly clear she wouldn't.
Not again that week. (She's a keepa!)Well I went and got my backup , baited cast and waited. The mood had passed so I reeled in to go home and I felt weight.
A fish? No , it was dead weight. I reeled in my long lost ( I thought) Rod tip , hooked through the top guide. It's still my lucky go to bait flinger
