Was catfishing with my dad and uncle once out of some marina docks at night. Catfish hit my rod and jerked it in the water. Lost the rod.

But about an hour later, my dad thought he had a bite, he set the hook, thought he had a fish, and he reeled in my rod and reel! lol....

You got that right. A couple of my favorite memories were of fish I had on at Fork that felt so much different than any other bass I have caught that I still daydream about those times and what might have been on the other end of my line.

that is how you make a $5.00 problem a $150 problem...

shake it off, just another fish, if you can make that one bite, you can make another
