As kids TyeDye and I used to windsurf Yuba Reservoir nearly every weekend. Camping next to us was a fisherman. One night he left his rod on the beach with his tackle in the water...hoping for a morning suprise I guess. That morning the rod was gone. Two days later TyeDye and I were Standup Paddeling around out by the bouys on our boards and saw the rod on top of the water...then it disappeared. About an our later there it was again. TyeDye grabbed it and it felt like it was snagged...the thing would not move...every now and then it would go for a little ride. Being young (about 9yrs old) we cut the line and returned the fishing rod to the angler. Instead of being happy that he got his gear back he was PISSED OFF that we cut off his monster fish. Never know if it was a Carp, a pike or the Yuba lake monster.
