My worst googan moment came about 5 years ago when I went on my first get-together outing with members of the CT Surfcasters Assoc. I, at the time, had been surf fishing for 25 years and liked to think I knew what I was doing.
so here comes the newbie (me) up to about six guys from the club fishing side by side, I say hello to all thinking "this is what it's all about, a bunch of guys just like me". the guys actually made some space for me in a very crowded spot and then on my first cast with my new buddies I proceeded to cast the drag knob and spool of my 4500ss into Long Island Sound. I had loosened the drag for some reason and it was right at the edge and off it went, I had no spare spool or rod and had walked 1/2 mile to the spot, so I just watched them fish for a few minutes and went home. Going to the same spot tonight to meet the guys if the weather cooperates.
