we had a good trip but the fishing wasnt at its best.  he caught one all by himself, and i caught one decent one that we both took a pic with.  when i set the hook on this fish, my berkly cherrywood light rod snapped in two places!!  but i reeled it in with no guides and about a foot of rod left.  i guess thats what happens when your used to using MH and H rods and you set the hook with a light that t spooled with 10lb power pro.  hopefully wally world will replace it.

his bass he caught by himself.

the one that broke the rod

the broken rod

his fish was caught using a t-rigged weightless trick worm and mine was on a live magic shad.  was a good time!!

thanks

I've returned a broken rod to wal mart before, but it was only a couple weeks after I bought it.

Congrats to you nephew and sorry to hear about his rod. I would probably at least try to return it. Just take your nephew with you. Who could say no to that cute little face.  ;D

Great job Red and thanks for taking the time to be such an inspiration to the kids

FYI, walmart replaced the rod, no questions asked and with no receipt.  so we are back in business, cept i think i will respool with regular mono now!!
