Last Summer I broke off a MAC superswap pencil on a fish,second cast with MAC standing right there. I felt like an idiot. Then a seal took a canal special. Slow learner, I guess...

WAT

I once lost 4 brand new poppers in 10 minutes....

My buddy comes down from Canada with his son and I take them out fishing on the southside of Nashwena. We're into breaking (decent) fish, there's two kids hooking up non stop, me hooking up too. My buddy casts out again and PLINK off goes the lure to Mars...I get my fish in and get him a new popper tied on. I get the boat repositioned in the drift and he casts again. PLINK gone again. WTF, retie another new one on. Pandemonium as two 9 year old kids landing gators at once. Buddy casts again, catches a fish. GREAT. Casts again. PLINK off goes the damn lure to Mars again. I say gimme the damn thing WTH you doing. Tie another new lure on, I cast it out and yep... you guessed it...PLINK off to Mars. %$%$%$%$ing knot in the line about 100' down right around the %$%$%$%$ing spool.

Lesson learned.

I'm feel sorry for losses but you have to admit, that's a funny story if the reader is't standing in your shoes.
