Probably the hook/sinker got jammed in the rocks and he was horsing it out with his Ugly Stik. *What a shame. *I'm going to remember this one. --Vic Not just rocks.. could have been really pulling it up through the surf with a big pole. Once it frees itself from the water it can really fly. A lot of these surfcasters here use huge weights to keep the tide from moving the bait.. |
