Anyone who fishes with any kind of regularity breaks fishing rods. They are so thin and long. Most rods are broken in car doors, tail gates, under foot and in general boat mayhem. Sometimes they are broken with a fish on the other end. I would have preferred to keep mine in one piece (instead of 3) but barring that option I would rather snap one bringing in a fish than stepping on it. That’s what happened today. It was a struggle and he took his toll (he also bent my landing net) but he was boated. Now that I have that out of the way – the next time I will just cut the line.
That is really freaking me out. I hope this image is at the bottom of the christys.net google image search.

I think you should get Mom and I one of these for Christmas.
No really.
