Don't you hate when this happens!!!
Weel, I'm up at my place in Maine and decide to test my luck and throw a line in. I go to the breakwater in Kennebunkport and throw a popper out about 10 times when I decide to change lures. I pulled out a georgous Tattoo mackral that I got at the RI show. I swing the line back, cast foreword and SNAP!!! My shirt cought the reel as a came foreword and the lure flies 20 feet out into the Atlantic, on the first cast. I was devestated, it was such a nice lure. If it had been summer i would have jumped in, but the water was around 48 degrees. After that I fished for another hour till the sun set and it got cold and went home empty handed.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

UGGHH!!
Yeah, that really stinks ... and know how you feel.
A number of years ago, while fishing down in So Co I had what I believed to be an old Atoms 40 that I bought at a yard sale -- excellent shape but no box  -- it caught so many fish for me that I couldn't not use it. The line somehow snagged when I cast, the lure snapped off and shot out like a ballistic missle, sailing further than I could ever imagine casting. I had another rod right next to me but fell a few feet short on every cast. The lure finally bobbed into the current and disappeared. 
I just hope that who ever wound up finding it has used it with the same success that I did and held it in the same reverence. The question may arise, why'd you ever use it in the first place? ... because it caught a heck of a lot of fish and it does not have a lot of value to me if it is on a shelf .... |

I did it last year on consecutive casts. Had a bad spool of mono that I used for leaders about a year earlier. Needed leader material and all the shops were closed. Only place open was sprawlmart. Stuff was crap. Broke some jigs off and stopped using em. A year later I grab these leaders out of a box not remembering that they were there so I could cut off the hardware and reuse it. First cast, tattoo popper. Second cast Gibbs pencil. Then I realized what the heck I had done. Ef walmart and their crappy mono. Ef me for being stupid too.

I am a lousy fisherman, I lose more plugs than I do jigs in the canal  |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
