I once broke an Explorer... I later found out that Explorers break by themselves, no help needed from people...then I didn't feel so bad.:biggrin:
Was at a catch and keep venue. First two fish caught in two casts one just below 2kg and one just over. Being a student this meant my budget was blown but I still wanted to fish. So I broke the hook bend so I could not possibly catch another but still have the rush of a an aggressive take. Two casts later I hook into a bus and double decker bus. That would just not get off the hook. I tried to have him swim free/slack line and started getting attention from the local guardian. So I brought him in close and tried to shake the hook loose like one would do if hooked on a rock. Needless to say I broke the tip and had to pay for an additional 2.3kg fish.
He had swallowed the fly completely and it got stuck down the hatch!
