Had to share this, never leave the dock without your net

Learned important lesson this afternoon. Went out to make a few casts at Shearon Harris just outside of Raleigh and left my net in the garage. Had one between 7-8 pounds at the boat and she broke off as I tried to lip her. Touched her tail before she swam off. Lost my favorite crank bait and just sat there sighing.

Oh well, next time the net will be in the boat. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
