3 mile report also Please catch my son's penn 4300

capt'n slim · 11-11-2008, 03:53 PM

fished 3 mile mon. night let the kids and neighbor load the cooler with white trout and ribbon fish. we probably put over 60 trout and 3 ribbon fish in the box. sorry no picts it was late (well dark anyway). But more importantly my 6 year old decided to put his new penn 4300 spinning rod in the rod holder with bait on the end, as I've told him a thousand times not to:banghead:banghead. Well he found out his old man had a reason for this not just to hear myself talk. as a fish hit the pole it stripped it out of the rod holder and proceded to ski across the water. I tried to "catch" his pole for over an hour with no luck. Needless to say we both were very upset:reallycrying. i hope that someone may catch his pole read this post and contact me, i know its a needle in a haystack chance, but odder things have happend. We were under the GB side about 7-10 pilings from the center. it's probably still got 200 yrds of 10lb power pro and a white trout on the end.:reallycrying

I wish you luck on getting that reel back...... And at the Palofox Pier on Saturday, about lunchtime, we were just killin' time when we noticed a kid bowed up on somethin (Dad says..."you're hung on a rock boy, let me get that for you"). A few minutes later Dad pulls in what I call a nice surf rod with aPenn reel on it. You should have seen the smile on that boys face!!

That's what you get for equipping a 6 year old with a Penn 4300 to catch white trout.:crying

That's what the $20 Diawa combos at Wal-mart are for.
