The Wife and I fished worms for an hour. I got two quickly and Tora Sue wanted to use my rod, so I handed Her mine and She gave Me hers -
just to change Her luck. I tested the curiosity of anything down there, lifting the tip - TINK-TINK - Hmmmm......something. I let slack for a minute to compel TOTAL CONSUMPTION, then pulled the steel
into it.......but it didn't move........then IT DID !! PULL-PULL !!!
10 minutes of steelhead-rod bending and I got the 14-1/2"er in the
boat. Wife was yelling that she wanted to play it............
imagine that. Trade rods 'cause it's too slow and hand your Hubby a
nice holdover. Oh, this was on her birthday.
