Is being smoked big time better???

[danryan75]

heres my view.

catching nothing is better than bot going at all

being smoked is better that catching nothing

catching something is better than being smoked

catching whatever it was that smoked you...priceless

I do believe getting smoked is a learning thing. It tests your gear, knots and skill.give me a smoking any day.i will be better next time.

you got it in one!! getting smoked by the monster you've been changing makes me dive to the bottom of the boat and tie on another lure. I've been home late heaps of times chasing the one that got away (or its bigger brother)

Hell yeah!

An old post of mine and the most exciting "smoking" I've ever had. I doubt very much that even in such a short lapse of time, that I will ever be as strong as I was in this old post. My days of seeking out big vermin are numbered, I'm afraid

Ahh yess but you still have the stories

When the strength has gone from your arms, and a day in the boat is just a memory......you'll be able to keep those less fortunate entertained with stories of the monster that got away......... and you'll know.......... it was the truth

cheers

Too true mate. Thank goodness for video cameras though, as some of the "smoking" tales would never be believed without one.

This is my first "smoking"

Being smoked is what it's all about!!

What a buzz. Yes it's better than catching an ordinary fish.

Knoath, for me the whole point of goin fishing is for that reason... to land the big one, allthough its always better goin home with a esky for of fish.

I still have a shirt I wore fishing when I hooked onto a steam train headed for Tahiti. The cheap threadline reel I was using never stood a chance and the molten drag washer stains won't come out. I still wear that shirt with pride occasionally, but I can't remember if I caught anything esle that day

Getting smoked is what keeps you keen to go back next time and track him down.

It's deffinetly better than no action at all

nothing better than being smoked by a big jew on a break wall and losing the lure is worth it
