So fish start breaking in front of me, I throw out a stragetic angler Mac like 3 cranks in the guy next me cast over my line.

"My bad" he starts cranking it in and he gets smashed like 20 feet from shore on a magic swimmer, my plug is hanging on his line.

Fish dumps 150 yards of braid instantly into his backing. guy had his drag on like 1! So my plug and now my line are goin for a ride with this fish.

He tightens down the drag and is now fighting the fish.

Fish breaking all around me, nothing I can do. Big fish too.

Guy finally gets in close and doesn't know what to do.

Says "where do a grab it, and do they have teeth?"

FML, so I go over, land this 42 lb fish, unhook it for him and get my lure free.

The guy didn't even want a pic with it, he took like 2 crappy pics of it in the water

Weighed it on my boga, tank of a fish

Guy tells me he bought this set up last night and his first time ever at the canal and hasn't fished in like 20 years

Only fish I saw caught all day
