Congrats Nils!
One question... Got Korkers???
BTW:
I had that happen a week or so ago w/ a hula popper and a LMB. Cast from yak' and got a knot. Worked knot out and, just as I looked up, I saw the popper slowly sinking. Took a second then it dawned on me so I gave a yank and reeled him in!
Not quite 36" though!
