Because I don't fish all the hours of some of the guys here and also because I have never caught a fish over 20lbs my 2 drops will NEVER be forgotten. Both happened on a rock in the surf at the same spot. The first one happened when I slipped a couple of feet going to grab the fish on the weed beds below. Line went slack and he sensed the opportunity, shook his head, threw the plug and flopped his way back in before I could get to him. That fish was so fun to fight and reel in. The whole time I'm fighting this fish which took awhile after several runs I'm thinking of all the advise I got from this site and all the info I've read about but never put into practice. The worst part was a guy offered to help me and grab him for me but i declined because of my control freak issues. I was speachless and still think about that fish all the time.
