:lol: You must have waded over to the meat hole/ slaughter hole. Don't let things or people like that get to you out there, this is Ho season and like it or not they are out there and even more so during Ho season. Good for you for turning around and leaving and not getting in to a fight or argument with someone out there, it is not worth it.
Keep trying and don't give up, Ho season still has a good month left in it if not more depending on the size of the run this year. It can get frustrating at times trying to get in to a fish out there but when you do, all the time you have put in to it out there is more then worth it. Make sure you don't have your drag set to tight though the worse thing that could happen is all the time and affect you put in to it goes bye bye because you set the drag to tight and the fish snaps you OFF. I like to keep mine pretty loose and control the fish with my hand on the spool when I'm using my spinner rod and my thumb when I'm using my bait caster. Don't get to worked up and try to horse the fish in let it do some running but make sure you can feel the tension on the line, if it gets slack in the line they are good at getting OFF the hook then.
