Not a good trip...

[buzzbaiter]

Tried for a repeat on PR post work but it was bad. Tried a diff't section with perfect flows and lots of cover. Nada in 75 minutes. Not even a swipe. Later my buzzbait gets hung in one of those many maple trees lining the river. I tried my best to carefully remove it but no luck. My temper then got the best of me. Frustrated with lack of fish and getting hung up, I quickly jerk my fishing pole to the left to snap the line. I did that okay but I whacked the pole against a tree behind me snapping the pole into three pieces. So lost lure, broken pole and no fish. Relaxing sport? Hardly!


Love to hear any similar stories of temper tantrums and broken gear. I once tossed a $350 camera about 100' and more than once threw my pole javelin style. If I have high expectations and they are not met. I get pissed. This is why I get why Tiger Woods curses and slams clubs. Its about failure and not accepting it. If I ever played golf. people would be ducking clubs I'm throwing :-)
