I was tying a lure on and had a butter fingers moment dropped the rod and snapped 1 1/2 off the tip. Really sad thing was it was the first rod I ever built.

Sure does I think I'm just going to take up hand gliding. Go big or go home lol

 

Maybe combine that with bass fishing, call it extreme trolling lol.

 

SirSnookalot will be along shortly to tell us how it works for 'cuda, lol.

 

I jest, I jest...

 

Hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day. 

Ive missed the worm gear on my baitcasters before...found on the first cast lol...its was ugly

Well line is properly guided and my dad is out of urgent care hook safely removed and now down a spinnerbait lol

It was a spinnerbait hook? Ouch, that's a big ol' hook lol.

A trailer hook on a strike king banshee

Was it really necessary to post that your 55" Cuda fought longer than any LMB that ever lived? If I have interpreted your post as just another one of your snide remarks directed at the LMB, on a Bass Fishing Forum, then I sincerely apologize.  

Just means a longer fight with a fairly heavy fish won't do any damage or hinder the landing.

I used braid today for the first time.. I loved it. Then my trolling motor quit. It was very windy and my canoe got pushed into a drop rock shore line. Bam Bam Crunch.. Thought I was going over.

I ended up smacking the motor up side the head and it started.. LMAO.

I have to smack my Honda about daily, lol, I know the feeling.. But it's Daily driver @ 36 mpg so it's worth the hit.. I guess

Sometimes my 25 merc needs a nice back hand to run lol

Can someone tell me when I am looking at the Eye's on the rod which guide do i put the line through, the left one or the right one?

The much harder fight with missing the guide answers the OP's question, with overkill LOL

And the "by no means a 60 seconds or less battle" wasn't directed at the LMB?

My official contribution to the Thread is that I have missed guides on a rod and the levelwind on the reel. It actually took a few cast before I noticed that I missed the levelwind on the reel.

And the "by no means a 60 seconds or less battle" wasn't directed at the LMB?

 

 

 

All kinds of fish can be landing in 60 seconds or less, people come down to FLA to battle peacocks, it won't take 60 seconds to land the majority of them.  60 seconds is actually quite a bit of time to land fish, I've landed snook and redfish in less time than that, it all depends on size and the kind of water your fishing.  The 55" reference is only to amplify that having something larger that takes longer to land won't hurt the rod.

Thank you for the explanation. Not that you owed me one because you did not. I apologize for earlier rude post.

I did that yesterday... I was anxious to make my first cast with braid line... 

Here's a classic.Twice I've had a rood fly out of my hands while casting. The release locked in the middle of the cast and see ya later.. 

I can't believe I missed them. Usually I'm a stickler about my equipment. Guess I was in a rush that day lol

Ive done this more times than I can count.

Sometimes, I wear readers AND a headlamp to tie a knot when I am in the house. We do have lights but my eyes really suck at close range and they are getting worse.
