9 or 10 years ago, camping at the canal. I never fished the ditch, still don't, someday, I'd like to learn it. Anyway, was watching mid-day, while taking a break from riding the bikes, a guy on the other side fishing. My son was laughing, the guy would throw one out, set it between some rocks, then throw another one out.... by that time the current had fouled the other line, heading it over to the other one he had just thrown out..... like I said, I know nothing of fishing the canal, but, I knew enough, to know he knew nothing of it either. The current was running wicked fast. We could see him yelling and cursing, but he kept trying to set up 2 rods with chunks.
We kept watching, even though I had caught my breath by then.
This guy gave it his all for another 25-30 minutes, of cast and tangle, yell and curse. My son was just about peeing his pants from laughing, and I was pretty close myself.... then the finale.... guy got so frustrated, he "cast" both rods right out into the canal, followed by his tackle box!!!!!!!, Stormed up the rocks and took off.... Both my son and I couldn't believe it!, I understood the guys frustration, but could not believe he threw the gear away!
