Default What is your most foolish angling exploit?

Mine occurred at sea.

I was teaching a group of teenagers the intricacies of boat angling about 3 miles offshore. I was standing on one side of the boat, with the others lined up on the other.

The young lady of the crew remarked how nice an evening it was and how clear sound carried from the land......... she could hear a cow lowing!

When I pointed out that it was not a cow, but a Bull Killer Whale, about 50 yards off our starboard, they immediately turned and joined me on my side of the boat (port)!......... as if!

The old Bull was happily wallowing, watching us, so I decided to get out my 7ft solid glass spinner and tackle up a 1/4oz Toby!......... and Yep!........ You guessed!........... I cast it toward the Killer Whale!......... the youngsters were well impressed!!!
