Meeeee toooooooo!!! [cool]
Had a similar thing happen Saturday at Starvation. Last fish of the day, daughter had just finished reeling in her poles and we were almost packed up to go. Was just going to start reeling in. Had a fish hit my first pole, I set the hook, fish is fighting...line breaks. Oh crud, fish is off. Then my other pole starts bouncing--I thought "no way--that one's on the bottom for perch, no WAY did that fish dive down 20 more feet to hit that."
What had happened was the fish when it started fighting swam in a circle, and tangled the line from my first pole in my second pole's line, that was all the way at the bottom. So when it broke the line I was able to reel in the fish with my second line. Weeeird!
