I am never happy to break my own rod, but was elated to see one break.
I was fishing cohos on the peninsula and a tribal member was snagging the top end of the hole. Well he is using 60 lb line and just walking straight back up the beach. Kerrpowwww.....hehe. Well he got the fish. Shows back up a hour later all ready to go again. Fish on.......back up kerpow!!!! I was laughing my ass off. To top it off he shows up again and does it one more time......I had tears rolling this time roflmao...so much for his profit margin.... lol. If he had let them run even a little he could have got them easily with out breaking his gear.
