On tuesday i went fishing with my brother, he has taught me a lot about fishing and i enjoy it very much, he has always made a point of drilling it into me not to leave my rod in the water if i,m not at my swim because a fish can pull it in, i did as he said but always thought could this really be.
Well on tuesday i saw it for myself, we sat there fishing all was well and my brother decided to eat his pork pie, and to my amazment his rod just shot off his rod stand (which was attached to his chair) at such a speed i cudnt believe my eyes, rod and reel just vanished.
For the first few seconds we sat there in shock, but as luck would have it he fished the bottom of the lake with a rod and a spinner and got his rod back including the culprit that took it, i now have proof of what he said to be true, and from now on keep my hand on my rod at all times, i consider him to be very lucky that day not to be minus a rod and brand new reel.
