You ever hear those stories that some fool leaves his rod unattended and then next thing you know you hear the rod getting pulled in and the fisherman goes in after his/her rod?? Well, that is what happened to me today..I was targeting trout, using egg sinker and about 18 inches of leader..I cast out, set my rod down on the dock, went to go in my bag to get my phone, out of the corner of my eye I see my pole getting pulled into the water. Instinctively I lunged for my rod, but tooooo late, my rod was in the water..I foolishly reached down to grab it, lost my balance and I fell in...well, I dried off, grabbed my other rod..Fished for about an hour still thinking of what just happened...I was reeling in and at first I thought I was caught in some weeds, but this felt different. I felt a slow tug pull tug pull.....OMG, a bass comes leaping out the water and I have hooked my pole!! Some guy on the dock helped grab my rod while I reach down to get the fish.....WOW. Unbelievable..I can only chuckle and be thankful I got my gear back and landed a nice bass...

That's quite a story Jens. My 9 y/o son had a similiar thing happen at Green lake here in Seattle. I baited up his rod.. went to hook up his sister's rod. My son says "Dad, I've got something" Me: "Relax son,, you gotta learn to be patient"...... next thing I know his spiderman pole is about 10' from the dock and going underwater like a missle. I know what a rush that is for you. It is even funnier that you fell in, and got your gear back plus a fish. Write that one in the books.

Hey B- we still need to hit up my lake in your boat...I fished it the other night and a hawg slooped up a bigger topwater- but it came off right when I set the hook...I knew I should have sharpened those hooks. The water level is soooo low- never seen it like this before..so I am sure those bass are very spooky right now..

I have a wedding to go to in portland- saturday- sunday hittin up my smallie spot on the columbia. those pigs in my lake I have an idea where they are...probably all at that little lake by the house you guys were going to buy! lol- the groundskeeper hinted to me where they are the other day- but he was secretive about it...he just said I need a boat. and he again repeated the 10 pounder he caught with a bg.
