Fishermans worst nightmare happened to me

[mcwalleye]

Had a HUGE hit on my line- was running a 10 foot heavy action rod and heavy reel, a dingo lure, 50 lb test braid and double 50 lb leaders.. SNAPPED MY ROD IN HALF then snapped my line. by saving the reel I only lost 150 bucks of gear. saw a massive pike/musky kick up some water then it was gone.. suffice it to say I have a score to settle. I will not stop until vengeance and a picture with one of them toothy monsters is MINE. Anyone else have this happen to them?

At least once a week. Price to pay for being an awesome angler.

That one is going to haunt you - hope the fishing gods reward you for the sacrifice!!! We have broken a rod with a fish but that involved dropping the fish on the rod.... never had a line peel and break... DEVASTATING I could just imagine. We can't wait to see your revenge pictures!!!

You broke a 10ft heavy rod???

........might be a good idea to back off on the drag for next time.

Yep, the drag must've been crazy tight... I've never seen or heard of a rod snapping in half before but hey, I don't fish for monster pike/muskies. Better luck next time dude.

I cant log in on my phone.. weird.. it spooled most of my line until I set the drag tighter.. I think there must have been a crack in the rod i thought it was odd too.. it was a 2 piece silstar rod, was not a new rod by any means Ive had it for years.. Well as soon as I can Ill be trying again.. Practice makes trophies! a good learning experience that the river monsters arent kidding around..
