Well, I ran the streak to 0-7 yesterday when a nice hen sawed me off on a boulder right at my feet. While standing there looking at 4 inches of leader drifting in the breeze all I could do was laugh. 2 hours later on the "last cast" I was able to bring a nice 14 lb buck to the net. The streak is over! Now that I've found a hat that fish a little I can't wait for a long weekend when I can bring out the boat. I've been fishing some 1 day trips lately and have left my boat at home and I have gotten a new appreciation for the guys that fish from the bank. smile Hey Jim, you could be right, noone has been telling me "wait, wait jerk" but I have heard" ____ _____ jerk" does that count? jk
