I fished a hole for over an hour while watching lots of fish show, trying about everything I had, finally throwing out a spinner and landed a nice fish after a good fight. My 8 year old daughter was with me, her first weekend fishing trip with dad. I was excited and rushing to get the lure back in the water, cast back to the same spot and had an instant hit. It ran, jumped, danced back and forth a couple times, then the line broke.

I'd had the presence of mind to check the hook, but not the line.
