Wave Fishing Trip

One day my good friend Chad and I went fishing at the river. I was carrying my recently bought Leatherman Blast and he was carrying his Leatherman Fuse. While we were casting, Chad noticed a large Walleye that had been caught on a piceral rig, one hook was in the side of the Walleye and the other hook was snagged on a log. The person earlier had obviously hooked the Walleye and had snagged the log and his line broke. So I couldn't let a Walleye die like that, so I waded into the river. Fighting fast flowing water and trying to stay by the fish, I pulled out the Blast and used the knife to cut the line that had been caught on the fish. I grabbed the fish and dragged him to shore. I used the pliers to gently dislodge the hook. I picked up the Walleye and measured him; he turned out to be 49 cm. I ended up releasing the fish and at that point I realized I will always love Leatherman.
