Dangit!

Went out to the bridge today to catch some brim. That was my main reason for going. I have not been fishing for them yet this year and they have just really started biting aggressively. While I and some kids were pulling in brim after brim about 5-6 big momma bass started circling around like sharks, so i decided to see if I could entice one to strike at a fluke or a worm. I only got a few weak follows from the fluke, but I had a huge strike on my worm. At least I thought I did. It turned out to be a big stick tangled with old line and other crap.

I guess I over estimated the lifting strength of my Berkley Amp spinning rod because the tip snapped off about a foot down. Now I find myself with no spinning rod, and no money to replace it. Next time I'll be smarter and just drag the thing to shore.
