you gotta be kiddin!! That's awesome. Nothin as nice as a new rod & reel but I managed to bring up a 5lb rock once. I know that's nothing special but what are the odds of that hook snagging that tiny little notch or hole so perfectly in a smooth round rock good enough to reel it al the way in. as soon as it hit the floor of the boat the hook dropped right off it. Also - this was in Washington state...fishing for walleye in about 50ft of water. a long ride to the surface.
