Me thought to Sharon your going to have to get the ruller lady after them youngen  Eric good show and great evening of fishing 

[Blake R.]

That big one was chasing minners and I threw a bronzeye frog to her... she slapped it with her tail and knocked it a good 2 feet in the air. Well, when it landed i twitched kermit one time and she crushed it. Me and my genius self (I AM NOT KNOWN FOR THIS BTW!!) didnt have a good hold on my rod when I set the hook, and when she took off the other way she slap pulled the rod outta my hand I caught before it hit the water without putting myself in, but alas, it was too late Didnt bother me then, but I have been reliving that fish all day today

[Sharon]

  Open the bale next time and let it run... then slap it shut so you wont lose the rod. Gives ya time to realize you got something hooked. 

[Blake R.]

I knew I had it hooked... just didnt hold on tight enough I didnt want to get it hooked deep either.
