[QUOTE="CatDaddy, post: 114150, member: 755"] I'm not a god fearing man, but a grandfather-fearing man I am! It's too hard to believe otherwise - grandpa definitely had a Karmic joke when that happened! Awesome story, thanks for sharing! [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I fished with my uncle on Lake Lida when I was 10, only saw him once a year and idolized him. This was my stomping ground, as grandpa and grandma always let me take the boat to the bays and fish alone. I showed him my secret fishing spot and we proceeded to fish for sunfish - big ones, but with only 6 lb test and a simple bobber set up. I had something hammer my bobber and break me off, most likely a bass. So I re-rig and cast back out, only to have the same thing happen. I re-rig, cast again and this time it's game on. I land (with my uncle's help) a 5 lb bass and demand to keep it. The fish had both our jigs in it's mouth plus the hook it most recently inhaled. He relents, allows the thing to be put into a panfish wire basket, and I toss it over the side in 10 ft of water only to discover that in my haste I hadn't tied it to the boat. He spent the next hour dragging bottom with a big spoon until he hooked it and SLOWLY reeled it to the boat. We ended up getting that bass for the 4th time and eventually photographing (35mm) and eating the 5 lb monster. I was very proud that day, though I'd never keep it these days. #$%^&> [/QUOTE]
