That sucks.

Losing a bigun can really hurt. I lost a huge fish on the same pond I talkked about earlier, different day. Hit a rattletrap, jumped, and threw the 'trap at my head on the way down. No crap, I had to duck.

Next cast produced a nice keeper, but that fish really messed me up that day. The best thing you can say is, at least I convinced that fish to bite. It still don't weigh anything in a tourny, and it don't look good on the wall, but it's better than nothing.
