I have one to match for ice fishing, but cant recall it at the moment, so here is one from a summer trip.
way back when I was about 12-14 my dad took his brood of kids along with his girlfriends brood of kids fishing.
I was so skilled at fishing back then I was usin two poles. I stuck in a rod holder in to the ground put a big 1 ounce sinker on the end of my line a big o'l gob of crawler on my hook and with a heave hoe I flung it as far in to the lake as I posibly could. I put a bell on the end of my rod and set it in the holder.
I grabbed my other rod and walked behind a bush and did a little casting. I hadnt put in but a couple cast when I hear the bell going crazy. I run around the bush to find my dads girlfriend's kid holdin my rod. now I have had problems with this 8 year old kid before puttin his hands on my stuff even after I told him to keep his hands off... Well I reminded him again to keep his hands off my rod. I reeled it in checked the worm and another heave ho' I flung it out as far as I could and went back to the other side of my bush.
I put in about 10 minuts of casting and my bell starts going crazy again and I run back around the corner and the one boy and his brother was laughing at me. so now I was gettin a bit rialed, I checked the tention on my line and figured the boys was just ringing my bell to tick me off, not the first time they have been a little testy... and back off to my castin I went.
a nother cast or two and there goes that bell again. and around the corner I run and the boys are laughing thinkin the whole thing is just a big joke. I am sure My nose was bright red by then cause I was ready to blow my wig..... I was lookin at the pretty stern and they said they didnt touch it. I went back to my casting
about 5 minutes later my bell is ringing to no end and I run back around the bush and I see the boy with his hands on my rod again.. and I got madder than a wet hornet... and said I told ya to leave the rod alone. in thier defence they said the rod was doubled over. and I said ya right, next time I am going to clobber you.
I reeled in my rod, checked my worm still there just the way I set it, so with another heave hoe I let her fly, set my line tought, set the bell back on my rod, turned and started walking back to the other side of the bush, but this time I did not get but about to the corner of the bush when the bell begain ringing like the bells on santa sleigh. I thought these boys are asking for and now thay are going to get it...
when I turned around there was my rod doubled over bell bobbin on the end of my rod. I dropped the rod in my hand ran over and grabbed the rod and set the hook, well that fish had played me for a fool and now he was going to play me for a sucker as well, he took off running and stripped every bit of line out of my reel before snapping my line and all I could do was stand there rod bent almost in two with my jaw hanging down to my ankles.
the boys was runing around in front of me one with a net and the other ready to run in to the lake to grab the fish... you should have seen their faces when they heard the crack of my 20 pound test line snapping,
In my defence I told the boys well, you guys tell so many lies I cant never tell when you are telling the truth or not. I said you know what happened to the boy who cried wolf? they said no... aperently that hadnt heard that story before so I said he got ate by the wolf. and they said nutuhh... and I said go ask your momma...
needles to say that fish played on my nurve and put them boys 8 10 and 11 in danger of a good wallopin... I emagine between the three of them combined thay could have taken me but not with out a few lumps... any way we all had a good laugh over it and got to understand one another a little better... and I learned a little more about having patients that day...
I'm a little tea pot hear me shout!!!!
