🐟 Fish Story 🐟 I just sit my rod down for just a few seconds after no action for the last hour to get my other casting rod just behind me, when I saw my rod being dragged into the lake. I luckily was quick and walked in the water to stop it and was able to reel it in. Now if only that was on video... fun times
