Pretzeled
Long trip, long walk, difficult wade, nice night, high quality territory, alone. Fishing was slow but enough scattered small fish (24-30" stuff) over a shallow rock bar at low tide on a small white needle to be worth sticking around. Several hours on I finally found a decent one. An impressive run against full sized tackle. Stopped her and got her 1/2 way back when she started to go again.....then slack. Swore, reeled in, and found this. No weed so I don't think it was a rub off. Regular 3/0 hook. Made me smile. Beaten fair and square.
