[#0000FF]Glad ya liked it.
We have all lost fish...for various reasons. But most anglers tend to fix the blame on the fish. In reality, it is usually fishermen who lose fish...not that the fish got away. Especially with broken lines.
Can't believe the lack of knowledge and/or preparation most anglers put into their fishing. They buy poor quality tackle...rods, reels, lines, etc. Then they don't change their line often enough. They have reels with poor drags and don't even bother to set them properly. Or, they have a heavy stiff action rod with light poor quality line. And don't get me started on knots. Some knots work and some don't. Many anglers don't take the time to learn the best knots for the line they are using and the type of fishing they are doing. They do a "power set" on a big fish and the line breaks. But it is the fishes' fault...or the guy at Sportsmans who sold them the wrong line...or put the line on the reel wrong. Anything but losing the fish because of poor equipment or technique.
I'm done here...at least for now.
