Well it could have been a 50

Someone who shall remain NAMELESS just called me on the telephone...out fishing CC bay he just got spooled by a big fish right to his backing.

But he forgot to take the hook guards off the hooks

My deceased partner, Gil Guilletone, with 3, 50s and more 40s than I can count lost a monster one night at Watch Hill and, you guessed it, hook guards still in place.

No boat, back in the suds.

This has happened to me twice now. It is downright embarassing and I feel like an idiot.

One time a massive hit then nothing, make another cast again another solid hit then nothing.

The another time I actually fought the fish for a minute then phooofff! gone.

Both times after retrieving the plug I reach down in the dark and feel for the hook, expecting a tacky poik!, instead I feel a dull plastic tube. You might have heard an explective being shouted off in the distance that night.

One thinks that as one gets older and more experieced he gets wiser. As I have demonstrated, more then once, that is not the always the case.

A friend and I were out fishing , he was on the left side of the boat I was on the right. I cought several fish , him zerro. Could happen to anyone!
After a long time I told him to change lures, He brings in into the boat and I look over only to see a lure that looked like it was bought at The Christmass tree shop to hang on a tree...... he will never live that one down
