Lets tell stories of times we caught the big one, or fucked up big time.
>Be me
>Be 14
>Im out fishing for steelhead with my dad
>Good times
>I have these nice waders my grandpa gave me
>Also have a G. Loomis rod (from before they were shit)
>Getting no bites
If you have never fished for steelhead before then you should know that the little fuckers dont like to bite.
>About 4 hours into the trip, we are out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere by the north fork lewis river.
>Im standing out on a log
>Suddenly feel a massive fucking bite.
>Thing must be at least 20 pounds
>In the middle of my battle lose my footing
>My legs spread apart and my nuts begin careening towards the log.
>As I let out the call of the eunuch my line snaps
And thats the story of how instead of catching the big one I wound up performing the nutcracker.
