Good catch!
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Lost a few rigs to those bad boys, great to see one hit the sand. Great fish and well done.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.
