Some of my buddies and I do a lot of float tubing for bass in small waters around San Diego. We were flipping some lay-down timber on the bank in about 10-12 feet of water. I had already caught about 4-5 fish, but nothing of any great size(and we all know they can get big down here). Well, I was flipping a Texas-rigged plastic worm with about a 3\8 ounce weight. I wanted to stay deep and tight to cover cause there had been a cold front. I worked the worm from the bank down to deeper water almost under my tube. I was just about to reel in to make another flip when I felt snagged. As soon as I put a little pressure to "feel" my bait, my rod tip was literally pulled into the water. I didn't need to reel any slack to set the hook since there was none, so I reared back and set. "Snap!", my line broke. I looked over to my friend Stephen who asked what had happened. I swear I felt like crying cause that was a chance for a hog. He just laughed. So the moral of the story is to recheck your line for nicks or retie your knots every so often. I had always heard them talk about it on fishing shows but I guess it took hands on experience to learn it. Don't let your chance to hook a toad get away.
