What's the chances.....

Fishing the Fairway on Sunday, I pulled out of a snag, nothing too unusual there you'd think but I felt a bit dead weight as I reeled in, attached was a second flowing trace, snap link a small length of braid, not unusual either, but the rig was definatlely one of ours. The lead was one of my home made efforts and the hook was just about rusted away so it was at least a few weeks old, bet I can never do that again. Pulled old gear in before but never our own.

look forward to the day when one of the boats pulls in a net holding 4 ice cold stellas

I was gonna say it's bound to happen, but it probably already has.

Once when I was fishing from Llandudno Pier, I lost one of my two hook rigs with a Dvice on it. I attached a new rig and fished on. A few hours later I struck into what I thought was a good fish. I got it into the edge and my Dad shouted it was three big dogfish. It can't be I only have two hooks! On reeling in I had two fish on my rig and a fish on the rig I lost previously. What are the odds of casting the to the exact spot, the exact distance, and catching the rig with fish? I felt pretty lucky, especially when you see the price of Dvices!

Not sea fishing , but once whilst pike fishing I had a ledger rod out to catch a few roach live baits , the rod nearly jumped out of the rests and I struck into something that obviously wasn't a roach , I thought maybe I'd hooked a small roach and a pike had grabbed it , anyway , using 4lb mainline and 2lb hook length there wasn't much chance of landing whatever was on the other end and it snapped me off.
A week later and fishing the same spot with the same gear I hooked the same fish and landed it , it was a brown trout weighing over 8lbs , and it was still wearing the hook I lost in it the week before.
Funny old game , fishing
