Well Kaiko Ken, let's just say I was holding on to the wrong rod when my first fish hit. Fishing in the same water as you, (probably even saw and talked to each other), worked the bait alittle when nature came a calling, got the old pi$$ can out, then proceeded to do my business just lookin' at the other boats and as I turned to check on the rod, it was doubled over and bouncin. I tried to hurry as fast as I could to get to the rod, but couldn't release tension and lost it. At least I was able to release tension on the other rod and don't think anybody saw the first take down, so baited up, dropped down and worked the bait alittle then got thirsty and as I went to go get something out of the cooler, looked up and the rod was bouncin and doubled over again, then went slack, then hit hard again. Was able to get the rod out but wasn't fast enough to set the hook. The bad thing on that was that friends on the other boats saw that one and got harrassed on that bigtime. Guess I got a sour taste in my mouth and will have to wait next years opener to redeem myself.
