John R gets assist...

Proving a point that I made in another thread, it doesn't take alot of skill to catch a fish...throwing into the wind, I got a small backlash. I'm peeling line off and the wind is blowing this line everywhere. After a few seconds, I have the backlash out, I reel up the slack and my line is hauling butt toward Portugal. I set up on the fish, but I can't reel. The slack line had blown around the guides of my rod... its pitch dark and I have no idea where the foul up is. John walks over, sheds some light, and releases my tangle. A nice little 12-13lber. for my third fish.

Sometimes its just your night.
