After reading in a previous post about a broken fishing rod I got to thinking about a few of my rods that I`ve managed to break over the years... Only one out of the 3 was broken while fighting a fish.

First one was when I was a kid about 8 or 9, I can remember hiking along the Grand River with a couple buddies and not paying attention and the tip getting jabbed into the ground in front of me..SNAP ... Haven`t done that since (knocks on wood)

Second rod was broken fishing Lake Erie at Nanticoke, we were into some real nice smallmouth and I set the hook a little to aggressively? and SNAP it busted in between the first eye and the handle... ... Did manage to luckily jam the two pieces together and with a little electrical tape was back to catching fish...

The third and hopefully last rod I`ve broke was last spring, I was in the basement and going over some of my fishing stuff when I noticed that the tip of my 5` lightning rod looked crooked.. No problem I thought I`ll just bend it back Yup you guessed it SNAP... (feel like a real dumbass for that one}

So for me that`s 3 rods in 30 years of fishing, not bad I guess???

Lets hear some broken rod stories.

What about those big muskie I see posted on here all the time??? Do you guys break many rods fishing for those monsters???

Somebodys got to have story about losing a fish due to a broken rod???

Way To Go OFC

I saw mention on another post about Junior Rangers and thought I`d ask if anyone on here was one ???

I was at RoughRock junior ranger camp about an hour north of Kenora in 1986.. The fishing was AWESOME... A week long 150km canoe trip through Lake of the Woods. Visiting the girls camp for the weekend in Sioux Lookout .... I posted this on the old old OFC board and if I remember right there was a few people that went??? There also used to be a message board for Junior Rangers on the MNR site but I can`t for the life of me find it anymore???

I`ve got one that I use, Love it... Once you get it set up they work great...

Now I eat alot of fish but not sure how that one would taste , sure would be fun to catch though

Doug

All fish, wild game and soups and stews get made by me, everything else is made by the wife or 16yr old daughter....

I`m also the only one who gets to use the BBQ

I was looking through my fishing pictures from this summer and found this one...

Sure was tasty

Here`s my eye story...

Couple of years ago at work I was watching the plumber solder some pipes, shooting the breeze and just dog fornicating. A small blob of solder dripped off and hit some water in the sink, you guessed it, it spattered and a piece hit me square in the eye from about 6 feet away.. There was an eye wash station right there so I quickly opened my eye and tried to flush the solder out. That didn`t work so a quick trip to Joe Brant hospital. After waiting about an hour to see a Doctor in he comes and puts a couple of drops in my eye and with a Q-tip lifts out the piece of solder... Had to wear a patch for a few days but got really really lucky and ended up with no damage to the eye or vision.. Was a scary few days while the patch was on....

Moral of the story, wear safety glasses and quit screwing around at work... LOL

With all these great deer shots I thought I`d add mine from a couple of weeks ago..

Here you go....... enjoy and thanks for looking
