bout two weeks ago i was whipping a crankbait out there. half way through the day i was still doin the same thing then all of a sudden my back tweaked! ever since ive been having all sorts of back tightness and was immobile that night. for a 27 year old guy thats pretty weak! anyone else ever have an issue?

try casting more with your wrists, less with your back.

    Sounds to me like you need to go to a chiropractor.

My back nope, my elbow and shoulder yup, hey but that 's only on the right side, they aren 't worthless yet, so let 's see ... I 'm 45, I 'm pretty shure I can squeeze 45 years out of my left arm so by the time I 'm done with them most probably I won 't care about fishing no more, I 'm confident that I will have to worry more about not trusting a fart.

Where abouts does it hurt? I tend to get lower back pain when I do full day trout trips, but mine is because my posture sucks.

You work out a lot? My brother pulled his back mowing the lawn when he was 25. That was because he had been power lifting (at sick levels) since he was 16. if it does not subside or keeps happening, i would take the other dudes advice and see a chiropractor or your doctor. You cannot be too safe with your health.

You need to see a "real doctor" or maybe even a specialist,

not a chiropractor. Regardless of any improvement, at your

age there may be an issue that requires attention NOW so

it doesn't haunt you as you get older. Please, listen to Team

Depends on this one...been there, done that.

Yep! The last "young" guy I knew that had sudden "back pain" died of a heart attack a few hours later.  Seriously, call the doc!

Have I hurt my back while I was casting... no, have I hurt someone elses back when I was casting... yes  ;D

Problem was when I went to visit the real doctor he said that along with the pills n 'stuff I would have to rest and stop fishing ----> you gotta be s*g me !   >

I visited him to give me pills, fix me up so I can continue my fishing.  :
