Welcome to Realistic Fishing. Keep it Realistic. This is a video about what can happen when you're not rigged up properly for the fish that bites.

I'm here fishing for smallmouth bass. I've got a pretty heavy line, but I've got a 10 -pound test leader, and, well, you'll see what happens.
00:46
Yeah, that fish just came out of the darkness, grabbed my bait, and completely disregarded the fact that there was a line there.
00:53
It snapped instantly, and I have no reaction for a while. Eventually, I start laughing, but that was like a 36 -inch pike.
01:02
Easy, easy, probably close to 10 pounds, and my line was as if there was no line there.
01:09
It just completely disregarded it. I don't know if you saw that, but a large pike just took my bait and snapped me off instantly.
01:34
Oh, that was a big pike. That was a big pike.
01:44
I hope you saw that, because that was ridiculous. It snapped me off like I was using 2 -pound test.

Anyway, so fishing is not all fun and game. No matter how much you know that losing fish is part of fishing, it hurts every single time.
