Quick thinking and nice work.

Funny you say that as his name is "Bolt"

Lucky you misnamed him then

Hooks in heels is bad mmkaay

I can remember very clearly the first time a mate and I were heading off on tour of the Kaimanawa via the Waipakahi River. At the time we both had those telescopic spinning rods and the deal was that we were going to feed ourselves on trout until someone managed a deer. So mate gets all ready and tosses a spinner on every good pool that we came to without success. After an hour or two of this I suggested that we should get a extract the digit and get a move on to get to the camp site before it got too dark.
So I am in front cutting through a terrace above the river when I hear one very loud, ah fuck me. Unbeknown to my mate he had accidently pushed on the release lever for the reel and he had about 75 metres of nylon to wind back on Personally I thought it was a hell of a laugh.

The biggest laugh was on the pair of us when we found out that there were SFA trout up the river and what there were, were all of about 15 cms long

Did this on the first day out fishing with the new boss, hurt pride more than anything. Painless going in and coming out. Tried yanking it out a few times but it was in there real good, took the old nylon around the shank technique to pop it back out.

I was on a trip to Stewart Island on a hunting trip we went out for a fish I ended up with a hook in my forearm I had to cut the hook off myself start the outboard myself and get us back to shore
The point was just out of skin we put the hook threw the rest of the way and cut it off was not impressed with so called mate who was in the centerfire seat of the dinghy no help at all

Old guy on a tractor drives up past.my Bach with his boat on the back and his fishing rod dancing away in its holder, he had "caught" the tree on the corner, lead line all out and down to the backing!

Mate of mine telling me he fell off his Whitebait stand last year into the river. Not a big deal but poor old Barry had lost both his legs last year & now has 2 prosthetic legs. Not easy to swim & had to remove them & throw them up on the bank so he could flail his way back onto the dry.Water bout 6' at high tide & only used his stand twice ,was a bit scarey for him I think.Talked him into trying to fish it this season with a set net but on a benefit a scoop net with a trap might work for him.Makes you realize how lucky you are when meet some one like Barry.
Just trying to as he says get his life back together. The guy has a lot of guts ,lot of people would of given up.

He sounds like a bloody legend Chris.

Thought a few might enjoy this humour

Mishap about to happen???
