How's this:
I was fishing at Houghton's Pond in Milton last week. It was an after work trip that, like so many others, didn't look too promising. I had been having some luck with a "thumping toad" rigged on a 4/0 weedless worm hook, and was casting in and around the lily pads with visions of a decent bass or pickerel expolding beneath it. Well, after a half hour of no action, I caught some movement off to my right, and saw a leopard frog hop for it's life as the water it had previously occupied erupted quite vigorously. I immediately thought that this was my chance to nail a decent fish, seeing that it would probably still be lurking in the shallows, looking for an easy meal. I gingerly tossed my artificial frog into the same spot the frog had just vacated, and was surprised with the speed of the strike.
Oh, it was a hit, a shockingly swift hit that hit it's mark with laser-like accuracy, only it wasn't a bass or pickerel. It was a bullfrog. The damn thing had been chasing the smaller frog, and took after my offering like a hungry dog to a steak. Needless to say I caught the frog, which was now sporting a pierced lip. I unhooked him and tossed him back with my warning "See what happens when you mess with MY FROG!" I tossed the frog back into the same spot a few moments later and another SOB bullfrog had taken his place!
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

I knew the line was old but I didn't think that old????
The other night it was late and I was having a hard time tying some leaders with the fluorocarbon I had. I called my friend and he said to find some 25 lb mono. I look through my bags and bingo there was a spool. I start lacing them up - I even added my teaser rigs. I don't know what made me look again but I spotted the price tag on the spool and it said WOOLWORTHS. I can't even remember when the last Woolworths was around. It was probably 20 years ago - gotta love that Ande line. I tossed the line but I probaly should have saved it for a collectors item.

odd....I was tossing bucktails with Rudy from the SWE in early July in heavy surf in a very rocky area when I found bottom 50 or 60 yards off and had to break it off, I tied on another and cast and reeled up noticing that my bucktail looked odd...there hanging from my new bucktail was the one that I'd just lost hanging upside down hook to hook...no line, no mess of weed, just the lure....both tied by me so I know that it was the one I'd just lost...I mentioned Rudy as he is my witness, mentioned the terrain because I could envision this maybe happening bouncing along a sandy bottom but not this type of bottom, hard to calculate the odds given the distance, seas and structure but pretty neat...it was during a great week of fishing so I figured I was just ON!
best....first trip out with my 10 year old daughter this season early on she hooked up with a 28" bass on her first cast, this was prior to any reports of any "keepers" roaming the local waters, she's addicted and get's better each time out...hope she'll still find time when she gets a little older...
