Why? What's that question got to do with anything?

Fish in the 40's but haven't broken the trophy mark up there, yet. My Dad was fortunate enough to luck himself in to a 59 pounder on the Ditch. He never came remotely close to getting the rod out of the holder....until both Bob and I simultaneously reached over and set the hook/released the rod for him.

I've watched a couple big fish come and go because the clients couldn't get the rod out of the holder(s) in a timely manner.

You should just ditch the rod holders all together Bob and let everyone use bug rods. I wonder how many rods you'd lose in a season?

PS. I thought it was implied, but if not, Damn Nice fish, Brit! Once of the nicest Ditch Pigs one will ever see!
