I had a striper spool me and break off on July 4th, 2002. It's still the biggest striper I've ever had on.
Oct. 31, a couple of weeks ago and the last day of trout season in Vermont, my son, 18, was dragging a white wooly bugger on his fly line through a deep hole under a waterfall. He hooked up with a HUGE trout. About 20 seconds later it snapped his 4 lb. leader. He was pretty upset. I told him that's a fish he will never forget and it will inspire him to get back out there (and maybe a stronger tippet wouldn't hurt at the end of the season when the big boys are active).
