Day 8....

The King and I....

We're in the middle of a wide open bite at the Mud on our last evening of fishing when a father and young son team nearby gets bit. Yee Haw! KING ON! And when it starts running upriver, we KNOW it's a biggun!. Boats scatter to give the young feller his due, but as Dad starts chasing the monster king upriver, the line angle starts looking a little funny.

DANG!

Figures that fish would find the ONLY mid-river snag in that stretch of the river! Dad takes over for Jr and things quickly take a turn for the worse. Elation turns to despair which eventually turns to disgust as the rod explodes midshaft!

DANG!

Feel bad for the young man but KUDOS to Dad for gettin' him out on a fantastic evening of king fishing. Oh yeah KUDOS for having REALLY nice rodholders on board, too!
