Had some flashbacks to this meme during last Sunday's trip to the water with my friend, Wayne. On two consecutive casts, I snagged underwater objects with my 40-lb. braid and ended up raising both far enough off the bottom to get a look at them. In the first case, I lost the battle.
In the second incident, I was able to put enough pressure on the arm of the stump I was snagged in to break it free, and my friend was able to grab it and unhook everything.
The net result of having not one but two "8 pounders" like what is pictured here hooked up was the considerable "joy" I subsequently had of working all that buried braid free enough to be able to start casting again.
