It just wasn't my day. I moved to a different location, walked out to a spot, set up my rods again, and a few minutes later one of my rods went super bendo. Heavy throbs indicating a big cat. I got the rod out of the holder and fought it for a minute or so. Big fish know the rivers well and this one knew where a big snag or tree was. It bee-lined into whatever was there and I couldn't stop it, nor could I get it out. Ended up breaking my 20lb test off. It has been a while since I have lost a big fish and I'm still smarting. I ended up catching a teener then lost another right at the bank that was mid-twenty size. Hook just popped out. What a weird day.
