Default Re: Topwater Action, Missed a Biggun......

Welcome to my world! Love the topwater but its maddeningly frustrating. More then once I've had my pole in both hands ready to snap it. Here's the start of yesterdays adventure:

Get to work at 6:15, leave at 3:00. At river by 3:30. First cast - swipe/miss. Second cast -swipe/hook/fall off. Third cast swipe/miss. 4th,5th,6th casts -nada. 7th cast swipe/hook up/falloff. Casts 8,9,10 - nada. Move on...Next hit I get is a 30"+ fish and I'm battling it and then its gone. I reel in the line: it actually broke the snap on my steel leader. wtf. Thats pretty much how the next 4 hrs went.
