Also dropped the lines while we were out in about 80' of water. After about 10 minutes, I heard "Dad, wha.... What the heck??? DAD!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!" I look over and my oldest boy is about in the water. His rod is in the water about half way. We were drifting and I thought he snagged up. I told him to stand up. When he did, his rod came out of the water and dove back in twice more. I knew it was a fish.
Thank god for ugly stiks. That rod tip was bent about 6" down past the handle. I really feared it would snap. It was just a medium action 6-12lb line rated rod with my old Quantum on it. Only had 8lb line on too and I figured that would snap. Low and behold, he fights it and fights it and up comes a 4.5-5' dogfish. His first. He has bugged me and bugged me in the past to try to catch one. Well, he caught a nice one. He sat about 10 minutes after we released it, just resting and taking it in. It was really cool.
Fighting away!!!

Pic of the fish. Pic doesn't do it justice. I should have boated it for a scale picture

Looks like it was a nice day to be on the water too.
