Don't feel so bad Eddie, I also ph*cked up this weekend, partly my fault.....I lost not one but TWO monsters(both over 4.5 pounds largemouth) fishing from a jonboat for the first time this season...sitting so low using a 6'9" rod it was difficult keeping tight line as the fish neared the boat and one jump, she looked at us, gave us the finger and got off..Th feeling is tough.......I was totally silent(more like pissed off at myself) for awhile afterwards and usually I am always talking, happy, enthusiastic,positive.....Second one my line was wrapped around the top of the rod while drop shotting and as I was unwrapping it I felt a small tug(I figured I was in weeds or snagged) so I set the hook and out of the water 20 yards away from the boat jumps a friggin HOG and as she lands in the water my line snaps at the tip of the rod where I didn't unwrap it....It was a drag but the show must go on.....Don't worry there are plenty of more days of great fishing left this year....You'll get em next time(and so will I....guaranteed!)...Have a great day
