Ben Scott says: This is what happens when a pair of nice bass suddenly appear in barely 12″ of water and you turn on your trolling motor to reposition for a clean shot and refuse to take your eyes off the fish. Needless to say the bass continued on their way as the trolling motor chewed the fly, leader and fly line before chopping the tip section of my rod into 5 pieces before I could kill the power.

Was atleast a @sageflyfish they cover that kind of fuckery
Ugh. No bueno. I have a hard time hitting the “like” button on this one.
Ouch!
At least the fly line is ok!
Ohhhh yeah thats a shitty feeling. I lunched my mates #10 glx in the kota. I felt lower than a snakes belly
Ugh I know the feeling once broke 6 rods in the bed of a truck…
#mankotaorbust
Ouch
@biolythic nope that didn’t survive either…
I feel bad liking this @tashmooflats
I want to laugh and cry at the same time.
@tashmooflats damn man, what a bummer!
Ouch.
Bummer lesson is don’t fly fish ? jk?
??
Daaaaaamn
Crying and laughing at the same time! I have had to peel line off an outboard prop whilst dangling off the transom on a trip before. Fun!
I liked this pic because I did this a few months back and figured I was the only person it happened to
Oh no!
Sorry man! It happens!
Ahhh I did the same thing (but saved the tip ) with my outboard two weeks ago. Cut the line and kept fishing. So much for that nice shooting head
?
ouch!
@will.olsen
Bummer bro… but as said earlier, if it is a sage they will replace it. Better that, than it going overboard and losing a reel too…I’m still bitter
@swrufus that’s was a hard one man! I’m always worried about that happening…
Ouch!
