Last year while on a Wisconsin Lake I was fishing with some old friends who very clumsy. The first bad thing that happened was my buddy accidentally closed the rod ...more locker on one of my rods and broke it right in half. We where catching alot of nice 30-40" Northern Pike and the one guy thought he had a fish and when he went to set the hook, it was no fish but a big rock that he was snagged on and when he went to set the hook he apparently wasn't holding onto the rod with a strong grip and the rod and reel ended up slipping out of his hand and went right in the lake. It was one of my older rods and reels but it was my favorite rod for skipping under docks.
