Weird accidents while fishing.

[Robbie R.]

I got the idea for this topic while writing about reel adjustments a few minutes ago and thought it would be a fun topic.

I'll start with a funny one.......

A buddy and I were fishing in the same boat at opposite ends of the boat.......he was turned towards the rear and cast and I turned towards the front and cast.

Neither he nor I knew our lures has "kissed" each other while in mid air limbo behind us...........we both made a whopper of a cast and we both heard a weird high speed whirring noise coming from our reels..........we looked down and after a moment of silence turned and looked at each other and after a few choice words.......realized we in deep doooooo.

Both our reel spools were as big as our hats..........there was no hope at all for this mess.

We both spent the next 30 minutes at least carefully cutting line one strand at a time out of our reels until we got to the bottom........no line left on either spool.

We figured the RPMs of our spools turning after lures made contact and both 6 ft. rods were cast to be somewhere in the area of 100,000.........

(I just realized this might be in the wrong place.....sorry, mods feel free to move it if you want.)
