A few years back we took an old bud fishing he was all psyched up in his new waders and Walfart combo 2-piece (which I strongly recomended he not buy). After casting some plugs for an hour or so he's gettin mad he"s not catchin anything yet. So with a big cast he sends the top of the rod sailing loses plug etc..He then proceeds to throw the remainder of his set up into the sand and starts kicking it around. I am laughing my arse off as I watch the top of the rod washing up in the surf right in front of me! I grab the top, walk over to him with a straight face, and hand it to him. Priceless.
