What's worse?

What's worse getting skunked or losing a big one. We were pre fishing for a tournament and something hit our most productive dipsy. I had not seen a rod slam like that or the reel peel line that quickly before. it either went well over 15 or was tail hooked. My friend fought him for about 2 minutes and then slack line. He reeled up nothing but the dipsy. I recalled that I had noticed a knot in the leader earlier and was going to replace it that night Stupid stupid stupid.:o not only did we lose a big fish but we also lost what was our most productive set up with no replacement. It was a siggs rigs green holo combo.

Believe me when I say I feel your pain. Did the same thing many years ago. I was in too much of a hurry to set rods and I lost a personal favourite trolling fly I had made myself. Dumb-dumb-dumb. Was a lesson learned the hard way.

S'Q' - We all feel your pain. The only thing worse is seeing a cash winning behemoth about a foot away from your net, after a 20 minute battle, and then having the rig let go. :eek::angry2::o

At least having him on let you know you were where the fish were.
