oh yea, i forgot about the time when i was really young and said the famous words "watch this". sure enough, the duck wanted my worm and the hook went through his beak. it flapped around and made some weird noises until it shook itself free. scared the crap out of me.

bowfin/dogfish. i caught one when i was 10 that was around 20 inches. my mother caught one in NY last fall, 22 inches, and this past spring i caught a 24 incher! so i've caught two dogfish now. the 24 incher was a monster, cast into some thick weeds and just let it sit for a bit. never felt it hit, but when i went to pull it in i felt a HUGE tug. i thought it was just snagged at first, but then it happened again. weird thing was when i gave it slack, it didn't move. it took about 15 minutes to finally get it out of the weeds and until i saw it surface i thought it was a musky or pike. boy was i upset when i saw what it was............ so my mom goes fishing w/ me and my dad in a small row boat. we got out fishing for 3 hours, and catch literally nothing. mom had a real nice fishing pole that dad bought for her, but dad was using it and just told mom to use the junk one. so she complained about the pole all day. so we head in and she gets out of the boat and onto the dock. dad and i are cleaning things up, so she just drops her line in the water w/ less than 1/4th of a nightrawler on it. next thing we know she's screaming. i look over and her pole is bent and drag is ripping out. she got the dogfish to the surface and i netted it w/ a very old net and got it onto the dock. she screamed again and ran up to the cabin. it thrashed the old net into pieces so me and my brother were holding it down, each of us w/ two hands. he repositions because he's losing grip on it, and as he does, it wiggles loose, between his legs and starts flopping towards the end of the dock. i go over my brother and scoop it back into the middle of the dock, and my fiance gets back w/ a real net. funniest thing ever, true story. all that for a picture.......

i have the walmart 12.99 special too, polarized black lens wrap around. they seem to work pretty good, but i haven't tried the nice ones listed above yet so i don't have much to compare it to
