when i was a young man......
i had this monster carp on my line
had to be 40 pounds because it broke right
thru the net when we finally caught it...
but before that happened
i was running down the bridge trying to still fight it
and keep it from going further down river @ newton lower falls
passing my pole around the light poles real fast
I was so excited i thought i could
save some time and jump off the bridge
when i got near the end but i totally mis judged it
I jumped a little to
early so that i tumbled
a few times but never lost my grip on the rod.
IT WAS AT LEAST 20 FEET

that was wicked DUMB
