I was carp fishing with my son from London, Ontario...He has only ever caught one a couple of years ago (about 25 lbs.)...
Sunday his alarm goes off "BEEEEEEEEEEEEPPP" and he remembers to shut off the "free" spool on the baitrunner but made the mistake of "setting the hook" while the carp was still running and pulling line off against the "drag"..."SNAP" !!!...I forgot to remind him that the carp sets the hook during it's initial run...That is all the action we had in four hours...
Oh well, the day was not a complete loss...We then had to go pick up my Father's Day gift...My new ride...
