I've lost my cool several times, wind and lack of a good bite usually accelerate this condition.

My dad's melt downs are the funniest though. Once saw him go full hulk mode and fold up a graphite pole into little bitty sections and then toss it into the middle of a cypress tree to leave as a memorial to the event.... 😊

Your Dad sound like my Uncle. My uncle has had some legendary meltdowns....some of the best I have ever seen. I remember one night catfishing the Arkansas river he would never engage his reel...well he got a bite and tried to set the hook sending line spinning off the reel in every direction. I laughed a little bit and he cussed a little bit. He got it straightened out, baited up, and re-casted well after about 10 minutes he got another bite, set the hook and guess what he forgot to do? You could hear him five miles up or down the middle of the Arkansas on a calm summer night. I laughed allot harder this time until his meltdown started melting towards my side of the boat.

Another time he was jigging cypress with braid got his line all tangled up in the tree pulled on it a little to hard & cut his hand....Meltdown, Another time this nice Arkansas Blue cat finned him several times Melt Down on the catfish, one time on the Little Red he had a tangle melt down with 4lb test, melt down and just threw his whole rod into the river. Tried to fish the Little Red in his bass boat, water fell trapping him thought he could still try to get back to the boat ramp, by the time he got back he had no props left on his trolling motor or main engine prop, Big Melt Down. Just to name a few. LOL

I came pretty close to a melt down last summer fishing the Ouchita River from my kayak. I hooked a big fish, thought it was a carp at first. I fought him to the side of my kayak and saw that it was a walleye, my biggest ever was 14.3 lbs. This one was close to the same size. When I reached to grab him he whirled away snapping my line. If I could have spoke I probably would have sworn like a sailer. I wanted to get the biggest one I caught mounted but couldn't see how I could have afforded to. My oldest daughter had just gotten out of the hospital after spending her first 26 days after birth in the NICU. So I wanted this one for the wall. Yup, almost in tears both times.

No No, Bill is a pussycat really, the only time he goes off is, if someone gets into his whiskey....
