Yea, but with my luck I’ll hook into a damn comet and end up taking a Nantucket sleigh ride around the Milky Way. Believe me, I’ve had some strange times while fishing. There’s a few people that are simply afraid to go fishing with me due to some of the critters I’ve hooked into. And that’s NO exaggeration.
9’ mako shark, d**gged the boat around for 3 hours. Atlantic stergon, in a canoe, on the Hudson River, tornado while clamming,etc...
I like fishing off a pier and getting that "bonus" crab. You have to be careful reeling it in though, one tap on the pier or jerk on the line and the "bonus" crab is gone. Hold that pole out as far from the pier as you can, slowly reel it in and hope nobody bumps you. It is about like that claw game, very tough to "win" that "bonus" crab but when you do, it is a very tasty reward.
