Let me tell you straight away; sometimes the bottom feels like fishIt's more or less the same immediate sensationwhen the reel stops and that clutch-device on the snelle does its little routine;you hold your breath a little bit or maybe make a little "o"-shape with your mouthand if it turns out to just be the bottomwhich, depending on where you're fishing, of course,often is the case,then you breathe out again and start preparing to do some pulling and slacking for a whileand, again, depending on where you're fishing,the consistence of the humus-layers on the bottomand the presence of rocks and stuff like that,sooner or later you will be facing the only remaining alternative,to cut the line. Pretty lame, but what can you do.Happens all the time, especially with your favourite-sluk,because that's the one you're most likely to be using.Also, especially if you're fishing in a lake where you know that there's supposed to be some big-ass fish,over 1 kilo,then it'll take a little longer to determine whether it'sthe bottom or a big-ass 1-kilos troutOne, two seconds may passand you're still not quite sureand then if the sluk loosens again,you always end up swearing and telling everybody how you you lost a really big one,but deep inside you know that it could might as well havebeen the weed on the bottomBut who wants to give up a semi-interesting remarkfor some boring facts that might not be facts at all but are definitely boring?It's hard to tell, becausesometimes the bottom feels like fish
