Shorty...You are the man!! And you are psychic!! After reading your post not 30 minutes ago I took a chance and started walking the pond shore. Probably had not walked 75 feet and low and behold about a foot away from the bank hung in a little FA was my tiny torpedo with 40 inches of line tied to it!!! One of the front rusty "bends" of the treble hook was broken off.Wow, I did not ever expect that less than 24 hours since I broke her off!! All of my reels are getting a minimum of 12 pound test line now!! Thank you for the suggestion and thank you to the others for support. Maybe that big gal will live on to spawn again!!

Dear Alcohol, We had a deal where you would make me funnier, smarter, and a better dancer... I saw the video... We need to talk.
