Just kidding, the question is, did you tell someone to grab the net before you knew.....

While fishing a T on the Illinois River... watched a guy lose a Loomis/Shiman rig (here's how I know)... About three hours later I hooked it with my jig in the second rod guide... He had been dead sticking it when it went over the side. I brought up the rod and it had the fish still on... sworrall Posted 5/20/2005 6:08 AM (#32562 - in reply to #32543) Subject: RE: Caught a Rod and Reel Location: Rhinelander Over the years I've caught several, but none in good shape.

Last year during a tournament on Bago I was trolling off a reef and caught 2 rods and reels at the same time! They were identical setups that someone used for slip bobbering the reef. Identify and they are yours. My gues was that they flipped out of the boat when they took off from the spot. Yes, I fought them for a couple of minutes I brought thyem to the scales for a few laughs Jim Coon Posted 5/20/2005 8:09 AM (#32571 - in reply to #32517) Subject: RE: Caught a Rod and Reel Member Posts: 499 Location: Appleton Mr Tip UP (AKA SUNSHINE) We are not weighing anything other than walleyes Sunday.
