RE:Race Point

My friends and I went seagull fishing once. I had this reel that was all broken, the line jammed, and I couldn't find spare parts so we wanted to see if we could blow out the drag. So I cut off the hook and sinker and I tie an old rotten mackeral head to it. I toss it out on the parking lot and this gull takes it and runs with it. Before he could swallow it, I yanked and it flew out of his mouth. So then my buddy trys it. Don't you know he gets the line wrapped around the seagulls leg? We couldn't break him off because he would eat the mackeral head with whatever was left of the line. So I went and tackled him and got him undone. Last time we did that! It was funny but we didn't realize the dangers of it and it was immature of us.(Hey, I was 14 and he was 12)

We did blow the drag out by tying the line to a back of a friend's car. That was funny.
