Had to be there, but break away was about 30 seconds after I walked away from the edge. Big spash that would have dumped me and a tripod/camera. All in fun right? I know it looks weak, but big spash.
Awesome photos!! I'm off to fish this weekend in my goat unit. Lucky you didn't go in off that shelf, that water's cold. My most risky moment this summer so far was swimming across Lava Lake to check out a woman sitting on the other side. Was fine getting there, it was the swim back that about got me. Thermal shock is what it's called. I made it, but 20 more yards might have been ugly.
Very cool, I was really hoping to get in those mountains for work, but it looks like we're probably sticking it out in the Gallatin. BTW I like the dual rod strategy... not a bad idea.
