So I was fishing last Saturday with Sam and Jon at Lake John and have a funny fish story! While enjoying my second catch of the day, I re-baited my hook and plopped it back in the newly dubbed, "honey hole"! While talking to John I just happened to look at my pole and it spring boarded out of its holder and right into the hole. It was... unbelievable! Everyone laughed and I did too, accept for losing a twenty dollar pole! I started getting another pole ready and shaking my head wondering what brute of a fish took my pole. A good fifteen minutes goes by and Sammy decides to go see a man about a horse, so I said I would watch his stuff. Sure enough he gets a bite while he is gone and I snag the fish for him. He runs down from the outhouse and I hand it off to him. He tells John to grab the camcorder, this might be a big one! As he pulls it up, it is a line. Sure enough it is my line with my pole one side and the fish on the other. I yank the line by hand and grab my sea weed riddled pole. Fish still on I yank up a 5 pound rainbow. I have the video but there are some poor choice of words used in celebrating the catch. Have the video out on a site if anyone is interested. Thanks
