Over the last few weeks have had some great success but wanted to mention about two fish in particular. A couple of weeks ago I managed to score my personal best fish of 5.5lb and 64cms. After taking a few pics on my iphone I managed to drop it into the sea never to work again. Unfortunate I thought but the pain of loosing it was dampened by the bass I had just landed. At this moment I did think karma was maybe working but thought no more of it until a week later I managed to hook into another 5.5lb bass. This fish was amazing I located it with the patchinko and it hit and bumped my lure at least 8 times over 15mins of casting to it. It took once but dived into rocks and rubbed out the lure but a few casts later and it totally nailed the lure. The fight was electric but once landed and in my hands and up the beach again I managed to drop my work phone into the sea, never to work again! Funny that the same thing happened within 10mins of landing two 5.5 lb fish within a week of each other! I have since purchased a waterproof case for phones but am wondering what karma will have in stall for me if I get into another good fish.....

hahaha great story!

It's the phone losses that makes lure fishing expensive and not the lures! Maybe get a small camera and hang it around your neck and leave the phone in your bag? That's what i do since dropping phones in the drink too many times. I also find i hardly ever get reception along the coast anyway. Well done for the two great fish bud!

Gutted Luke! Nice fish though!

I did almost the same last year and did two phones within 2 weeks. Lucky these things don't ALWAYS happen in three's!!

If that karma runs correctly, you buy a waterproof phone and never see another big bass??? :rollineyes:

yeah dont tempt fate, buy a toy phone and make a point of dropping it each time while your plugging. Nice post Luke, karma is very strange indeed.

Yep went out tonight with my new waterproof phone case and watched both my lure buddies land bass needless to say I didnt see a thing. Darn that karma.......

Luke,
Try leaving the phone at home and buy yourself a waterproof camera....Sorted..:wink:

Maybe this is why I do OK on the Bass each year. I drown countless phones..
