All kidding aside with the girl answers I gave previously thier have been three times when I was startled, heart pounded, while fishing. First time was when fishing a jetty just before dawn when a huge bluefish hit a Spoffords Ballistic Missile that was splashing across the surface. Landed that one. Second time while fishing a pier not far from where the first time occured I was fishing a very heavy, 5m 10" rod using mucho bait on a # 10 stainless mustad, when something took the bait and I couldn't turn the fish with 40# test line. I was either going to loose the rod or cut the line, I cut the line after about 15 minutes of holding on for dear life in a gale with the dock swaying back and forth in the wiind. Third time while fishing on the south side of the vineyard one morning looking for albies when a fish hit my deadly #^&#^&#^&#^& and when it did a splash happened like a boulder dropped from the sky. Just as I was starting to loosen the drag the fish straightened the hook and that was it.

One more thing, I am startled everytime a rat as big as a cat runs across my footwear when fishing.
