I love that clicker-I'm fishing with my clicker on

Location: Car ride
chris: I reused a bait once and I will never do it again
Billie: I agree
Carl: Yup, no oil left in the fish and its not worth it.

Fast forward 2.5 hours
Location: Beach
Chris: My ray looked sooo sexy. I may just bring it home with me tonight. I rarely use rays.
Carl: Didn't you just say... you would never do that again. I saw a post a long time ago..they were crushing sharks on rays and I wanted to use a ray at that time. I was hunting for rays for about a month and didn't see one.
Chris: Look, the odds are against us this time of year but maybe I'll get a chunk taken out of my ray tonight. I'll be ok with it. At least my clicker will go off.
Billie: A lot of sharks are caught in December and I know we are getting a monster.
Chris: I sharked all year and my clicker never went off. Not one click.

Fast forward 1 min.
Location: living on the edge
Chris: My clicker, my clicker
Carl: get it, go
Chris: its rolling - nice and smooth. Let it go…I'll put my harness on
Billie: Lines are crossed - I got it
Chris: its taking off - screw the harness. (thinking - I got this - pay attention - let him get the circle - I got this - I'll get help with the harness)
Carl: How is my braid wrapped around yours - I'll go over. Billie get the rod.
Chris: He is running south near the buoy. He is picking up speed. I'll cut north. I need help with the harness.
Billie: Carl, its over this one, around that one and I have no idea about that rod.
Chris: i need help here
Chris: I got him now. (tightens drag, sets the circle, pump, pump, pump and takes a few steps backwards). I got him - what are you guys doing. I need help here.
Carl: Go over the line
Billie: No step over it
Chris: I'm moving north..he is getting to close to the buoy.
Billie: (helping with harness)
Carl: Fixing lines
Chris: He stopped…..I'll turn him…I can't crank.
Carl: Is it in low gear?
Chris: It is now and I still can't reel. Wow - he is supporting my wait.
Carl: take it cool, don't pull the hook
Chris: he is making a little run…he is getting tired..I'll get him now
Chris: Holy Sh*&% he is picking up speed. Its ok…..I'll turn him soon..he is getting tired..let him run with a little more drag and give me my cigar.
Carl: (try to light cigar)
Chris: WTF - I'll light it…give it to me
Carl: no no
Chris: give me the lighter (lights cigar). He stopped
Billie: reel reel reel
Chris: i can't budget him. a bit more drag
Carl: I need you to lower the rod
Chris: What…are you F(*&^%$ kidding me
Billie: go under
Chris:: I can't pick up my feet. They are pinned to the ground.
Carl: (Digs out some sand under Chris's feet to place line)
Billie: I got you…lean on me
Chris: Hold me..I feel the tail pumping me forward. Ok..he is going north. I can pick up some line. (5 wraps on the braid)
Carl: Dude - where did all you line go
Chris:Oh SH&^, he stopped…I'll turn him
Chris: give me room..I need to pump him in…I can't move him…give me room..He is going again..its ok..he is hardly moving….he is getting faster….
Carl: Shut that clicker off
Chris: no way - I love that clicker -its been a long time - I'm fishing with my clicker on from now on ….I can't believe he is moving faster and faster. I have to pump up the drag..he stopped (i take about 5 wraps of the braid). Here he goes again. He is moving slow..I'm sure he is very tired…my legs are going to be soar tomorrow.
Carl: is that the bottom of your spool?
Chris: He is picking up speed again…its just the corner of my spool…Billie…get the 14/0
Billie: He runs for the 14/0 and starts the rigging
Chris: Dude, where did all my line go. He is going faster and faster
Carl: Chris, I see the bottom of your spool…you only have a few wraps left….all I see is metal….and he is picking up speed.
Chris: Billieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Chris: I got to do it. I have no choice.
Carl: do it
Chris: push that lever, push that lever, push that lever and stop that bitch. I got him..I'm picking up line
Carl: Billie, we turned him
Chris: Billie, he stopped…I just covered the bottom of the spool with line..stand by with the 14/0..Oh shit. here he goes again.

fast forward 4 seconds, well, I don't know how long we were living on the edge of the world because time was standing still at this moment.
Chris: oh no, what happen
Billie and Carl: Reel it in and lets see what happen..hook pulled, line snapped, I have no idea.
Chris: (reels in about 1100 yards of line)
Billie: The wire kinked about 3 feet from the hook.
Chris: Lets pack up, go land some rays and come back again. I'm only fishing sting rays
