How about dumbest moment?

Ryan can vouch that this actually happened....

We were flying down the lake to go to a new spot....a huge school of big looking spotted bass erupted off this point directly ahead of us.....

I ofcourse cut engine off and we came off plane...both Ryan and I jumped on deck and I fired a 6" HUDDLESTON out in the middle of the erupting bass....


I get railed instantly, the boats still going like 7 MPH towards the school, I RAIL a hookset into this fish.......

almost instantly my LINE shotgun POP SNAPS at my reel!!!! My reel then RIPS off the rod I lose my balance and throw my reel 8 feet into the air and overboard to the bottom of the lake.....my rod goes directly into the sky and I catch it and just sit there trying to process what just happened....

Im left just holding a rod and nothing else as Ryan is just crying with laughter...

DUMB.


Even dumber......

The spot we were running FROM.....I had moments earlier lost an 11 or 12 lb stud of a bass using a left handed reel that I was retarded at reeling in, and a 6" huddleston that had no treble hook....So I got crushed by this 11 lber.....couldn't reel, and all I had was the jig hook to keep her on. She thru the bait.......

Even dumberrrerr......

The spot that we were running to........I ended up snapping off another 6" huddleston trying to lift in a 4 lb spotted bass that I hooked moments after this whole fiasco...

"Wow you're really on a roll there bud" a line from meet the parents after he lights the house on fire comes to mind for me.

I was killing it that day.

DUMB.
