The "Take!"

[steve]

The hit on a rigged eel is like non-other. But every hit is good. I think Frank Daignault said the hit or "take" is the best thing about fishing, or something like that.

For me it is eel's, you never know what you will have for size on the other end, subtle take 40lb fish, hard take 5 lb fish, next time it could be the other way around.

The one I still cant erase is casting 1 1/2 bucks off Newport into big surf. Water was so confused you could not see anything just before light, at my feet buck stops and fish dumps my VS 250 filled with 50lb PP, couldnt stop it.
