My fishing buddy invited his cousin to fish the White with us one year. He shows up to Rim Shoals with a stipping basket. I had to call it out. I said do you really cast that far that you need that. I mean this dude was frail looking and short. He says he bets he can cast farther than me and I'm all over it... Well he strips out out the whole line plus a bunch of backing, makes two false casts and rips the whole thing out! I was dumbfounded. Turns out he was a member of the Golden Gate Casting club for like 30 years and man could he cast.
