Crazy fishing trip

Went to the Osage to fish. It was very murky from the lake. So went for catfish. I caught a 5 1/2 lb blue on hot dogs. Hubby couldn't get a bite so he moved his rods from the front of the boat to the back behind me. He had them stuck between transom and gas tank. Soon I heard "Oh ----". He made a quick run for his rod. Tripped, fell and twisted his knee and watched his rod go over the transom and sink. Well crap. We tied on big treble hooks and heavy weight and started dragging tryin to hook the rod. Couldn't find it. Went back to fishing. Wasn't getting any bites and decided to move. Hubby was pulling anchor up and said I have fishing line. His line. So he started pulling one end of line and said get the net the fish is still on. He had a 7 1/2 blue. Got it in and then kept pulling in line and pulled his overboard rod and reel in. It was unbelievable. Attachment 311371
