The One That Got Away
My friend and I caught a few shiners and headed out to the local golf course pond. We did not have much luck with shiners so we were forced to keep one over 8 inches. The pond we fished was pretty small and I didn't think any fish would eat it. i threw the shiner out there with my bait caster and waited patiently. No longer than 5 minutes later my bobber was popping at the top of the water. A few seconds later the bobber went straight under. I picked up my pole and gave whatever was at the end of my line some extra line to run with so it could swallow the massive shiner. I decided it was time to set the hook so i reeled up the slack and proceeded to set the hook. As i set the hook my rod snapped in half!!! I couldn't believe it...ive never seen anything like that before. I looked at my friend in dis belief. I called that the one that got away.
