they'll be other's..when you least expect it..you be shaking after it's high and dry....I've fought fish for better than 40 min's....down to the last 6 turn's of line on a 650 penn..walked half a mile down an back...only to have the hook pull......but there's been those that haven't gotten away  this is what you'll remember for a long time and how fish stories come about..15 years later you'll be dreaming about the one's that got away, not the one's you landed. |
BOAT fish do count.

a couple of nights ago i hooked into a monster who peeled off more drag and I have ever seen on my VS200........ i was sure that I had a 40 pounder on.. after about a decent battle I got it in to the wash, and there it was... a tail hooked bass weighing around 20 pounds... 
epic fight though, and good training for the big one

Fish that big are good at the survival game. That's how they get that big. It's no reflection on you or your skill. It is a reflection on theirs. That is one of the things that keep us coming back for more.  |

I've noticed that when I have what I consider (not often,mind you) to be a large fish on, I talk to myself out loud. Things like "Oh geeze, this ain't a schoolie" " Don't mess this up, Fred" " Move ya feet, follow this one down the beach" "Let it run again, she's still too green" Thank God the surf drowns me out, folks would think I'm nuts.
