Ben_Daniels Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) I was just searching around on youtube and came across this video, pretty crazy... I don't think I'd go through that for a 2 pound bass -Ben Edited April 2, 2008 by Ben_Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I love Ike, he is hilarious to watch fish. That 2lb bass could have been the tourney winner, I wouldnt have any problem doing that for $100k + Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyb Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 What's he trying to be .. the next Bill Dance Right on the $$ with that reference, irish! I am genuinely impressed though -- catching the broken line AND keeping his one hand on the boat. He's definitely got skills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Losing one over the side cost one guy a classic win some years ago, like a 1 pounder? They show it as a low light film pretty often. Never done that! The only time I have been in the water for a fish was wading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediangler Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I was trolling for walleye on Chesley lake many years ago when my buddies line broke after a hit. We backed up the canoe until we found his line floating on the surface. He grabbed the line and hand landed a nice 16"er. It wasn't worth $100,000 but it sure tasted good.

Ramble Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 GREAT video. i had 41"er escape the cradle after i had the hook out my 1st year guiding...i leaned as far as i could and managed to grab the northern by the base of the tail...my guests grabbed me by the belt and we got the fish back in the net....only 40+ inch fish of their trip.....i earned my keep that day!

steve barrett Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Neat show .Had a brother in law do it many years ago .The pole slipped out of his hand with a fish on and he jumped in after it an managed to catch it before it was gone . He crawled back into the boat landed the walleye and tormented us with it's size and promptly let it go.He only fishes but doesn't eat them.

Mark Kulik Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I wouldn't even think twice about jumping in for the right amount of $$$! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacky tambaqui Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Well folks I wasn't in any tournament when I was fishing Semiwhite Lake up by Elliot Lake but I was out on a warm July morning at first light and the water was piss-warm. I reeled-in after working the edge of a drop-off and then paddled my canoe over to work another spot. I had my Shimano Aero 1000 / Lightning Rod combo laying lengthwise in the canoe with the soft-body jig dangling over the edge and skimming the water. All of a sudden my rod bent and began to leave the canoe. Miraculously the canoe didn't flip but I did take on some water as well as a good soaking when I threw the paddle and lunged to salvage a rod and reel that I couldn't afford to replace "just like that". As I tussled the fish I caught the first glimpse and thought it was a small pike. Think again! When I netted it, it turned out to be a 2 lb laker that had charged up from the deep to smash my jig. I came back soaked to the bones with the rod and reel, the canoe, and the paddle (which I had to propel the canoe by hand to recover), but that fish sure made a delicious shore breakfast. I am pleased to announce that my above-mentioned fishing rig continued its service life as the luckiest -and deadliest weapon in my fishing arsenal. I do regret to inform you that there was nobody there with a video camera to capture that bit of drama or I'd be sharing it with you. Cheers!
