radar arch?

[reelapeelin]

Spare, one day a couple a years ago, I's fishin' w/ my top folded up and in the boot...had it standin' up in much the same position an arch would be...


...well, the biggest ol' cow striper I ever tangled with came along and had one of my 6500s singin' out loud...we knew instantly we were gonna have to chase 'er for any chance of landing, so my bud's bringin' the boat around, which of course requires me to hand the rod to myself over the top standin' there...THAT'S when I lost pressure on 'er for a split second and she was GONE...


...after layin' in the floor of the boat cryin', I vowed I'd never have that top or anything else standin' there again while fishin'...and I haven't... :D ...
