I was fishin a cut one night with a 5in storm with a treble on the belly. Was catchin shorts and took the treble off to make for easy release with the single.
Two casts later i got a bone jarring hit that almost pulled the rod out of my hands. I panicked
and instead of letting the lure lay and twitch, cranked it in at lightning speed to recast.
If i had left the treble on i may of had her.
Fish had to be funnel feeding at about 30mph. Nadda a hit after that, all the schoolies got outta there quick.
Stupid mistake, but a great reminder of the power of these fish and a moment i won't forget.
