greetings all<br><br>this past weekend i had the misfortune of someone ripping off my tacklebox in a well lit parking lot of all places. I had it in my van and the doors were locked. I had to stop and get a fish weighed on a certified scale. Anyway, i come back out and someone had smashed in my freakin window and lifted my box. Aww, to say I am miffed is an understatement. But there isn't anyone who is going to keep me off the water regardless. Its not the first time this has happened. It is just a 
thing to realize that there are fisherman out there who have to resort to doing things like that. I had a lot of tackle in there. Not all of it, by any means, but enough money invested in it to buy a small 3rd world country! <br><br>The evening had been incredible up to that point. I hooked into a whtie amur, or grass carp that went 37 lbs and was one inch short of being 4 foot long. I fought him tooth and nail with 8lb Stren for over an hour in pitch darkness. heck of a fish!<br><br>I refuse to let these thieves ruin that night. My tacklebox can be replaced and the memories can never be stolen.<br>Just felt like I needed to rant a bit. Its all I can do besides having filled out a police report.<br><br>Anyone else ever have their tacklebox ripped off. Feel free to post your rants here.<br><br>best wishes all of you<br><br>keep those lines wet <br><br>Daniel C. Nielsen<br>http://www.nebraskafishing.com/index.html
