great thread !!
on sunday this happened to me twice my first day fishing for bulls ever! first cast into this little pool hook a 1 pound bull cool! 2nd cast into the next pool I come to, another little bull sweet! I get to the main river (the highwood) walk my way down find some nice runs and pools I spot two nice bulls a few casts later I add 2 nice 4-5 pounders to my tally after some backtracking I cross the river and get back to the same pool cept on the other side ,standing on on outcropping i cast into the current watch the streamer sweep around move into the calmer water nothing ,but I see some movement down there . Next cast same thing strip it back in watch it clear the ledge in the water about 10 ft infront of me the current sweeps the streamer to the top of the water and WHAM!!!!! from behind the ledge a monster bull!! around 10 lbs oh man I am hooting and hollering trying to scramble of the ledge keeping the fish on well i played him for about 10 min then he got the best of me and I horsed him to much and snapped off ....................I was swearing a bit but smiling all the while I just had to grin to myself and remind me that at least I will have a good "the one that got away story" anyway losing fish like that is what makes fishing fishing I think if you always knew you were gonna land a fish it would be pretty boring after awhile I think
oh yeah also it teaches you a lesson to for me it was bring the 8 wht heavier test line and more bunny strips cuase he took the one that was working lol
