Fishing Forum

Well I went fishing with a buddy and WE FORGOT THE ROD HOLDERS! The fishing was really going slow so I tied on a hook with a worm and a split shot and threw it on out there. Sence we FORGOT THE ROD HOLDERS I set it down on the bank and put some sticks and weeds that were already there in the way until I was satisfied that a fish wouldnt be able to pull it in. So I turned my back on the rod and I was going to tie on a crankbait on my other rod. I hear this sound that sounds like SSSSSSPPPPLLLLLLAAAASSSSHH!!!! That could only mean one thing: There goes my rod! So I turn around and see my baitcasting rod and reel taking off in the water!! So I jump in after it, clothes and all! So I grab my rod that is already under water and gaining speed with every second. And I start reeling and once I get myself back to shore and bring the fish to shore it turns out to be a 25" Catfish. WHAT A DAY!!!!!!


Just remember to BRING THE ROD HOLDERS!!!![]

Great story, I have seen a few rods lost. This winter I say 2-3 ice rods lost, none of them mine!
