Have witnessed several such events. All manner of sh-t can happen in the midst of a good fight.

Buddy was fighting a steelhead and the tip section came off his rod and did a run down the line to the fish. Fortunately, he landed it. Had the leader broken the rest of his week-long trip would have involved 1/2 of a fly rod.

Reel just fell out of reel seat, so had to handline the fish in.

Winding handle came off reel. Lost that fish.

Bonefish circled a shell covered mangrove sprout cutting off an entire $80 fly line. Guy had to use a borrowed bait caster for the rest of the weekend.

Another steelhead - Tried to follow it as he was getting spooled and went over his head. Broke his fly rod in the swim and a fly box with hours of work therein floated away. I loaned him a spare setup.

If it's more than a day, I take spares of everything including a spare spare.

Oh yeah. One slimy looking character there. Nice fish though.
