" And the award goes to...."
Saw a candidate for the Balloon Head of the Year Award Saturday on the canal. Afternoon slack tide west bound, younger kid (20ish) chunking macks. He gets a hit, sets hook and starts reelin away, the fish came up gave a nice belly roll. It was a decent sized bass, about 100ft out he decided to "reset" the hook I guess, he gave a behomoth yank (I cant stress enough the yank he gave) which immediately snapped his pole right at the grip. A cheapo I would say, his dumbfounded reaction was to grab the line and hand pull it in....needless to say he was using braid...now bloodied and poleless, he tried in vain to land this nice fish. The third kick in the nuts is the fish got away.....frustrated and bleeding he grabbed his stuff and started walking away. Sir, you forgot your pole holder!!!!
Ever have one of them days?
