prepare to laugh at another persons hardships haha
went out on my 17th birthday to the harbor to fish a few wrecks, i was in the family mood so i decided to bring my 14 year old sister out on the tiny as well... with my brand new birthday TLD 25 and ugly stick combo present... anyway it started off terrible... my dad drove us to dinah to drop us off but had a tyre blow out on the way there... so after a good hour of fritzing around we were in the water and ready to go, we headed straight for steel barge where we encountered more problems,,,, i realised the fish finder was not working due to some rusted as hell wires so i had to make a guess as to where the wreck was.... i got pretty close because 5 minutes after dropping squid my sister (who had my birthday present) got smashed by a mother of all fishes and just like that hook line sinker rod reel everything got taken by the fish... poor sister nearly cried and felt terrible about dropping my birthday dinner and my present but you win some you lose some fishing isnt always perfect... just another experience to add to the old thinker now time to save some money up to replace my bday present

No wonder you can't afford a new crab pot!!!
Just joking mate, thats seriously bad luck. I hope the good karma you deserve for taking little sis out comes your way ( or else tell her to start saving her pocket money! )
