If it could go wrong it did on this fish. Rod broke just above the cork on the hookset. Fish swam under the boat and into the trolling motor. Fought fish with two hands on the top part of the broken rod. Missed fish two times at the net. Finally, my 11 year old daughter does the fish in with a nice scoop on the net and her first fish up close and personal. Lots of smiles and laughs after this one. She asked if she could hold it for a pics, told her she had to catch her own. One of the best days on the water for me ever. BG
