One of the alltime funny things I have seen while fishing was: I seen a extreamly drunk and obnoxious guy fishing off the beach in maryland that had this huge surf pole and was smoking a cigar, we were all fishing for bluefish and he happened to hook up with a big old skate. he was one of the guys who reel a spincasting reel upside down (reel up) and backwords. he pumped the rod up and the cigar hit that 30 pound line, boom it sounded just like a 22 rifle going off. the guys grabs his forhead and blood starts to trickle. it put a nice gash on his forhead..... its a little off topic but shows the true meaning of Karma
