Big snook screams drag and breaks butt of fishing rod incorrectly stored in rod holder!

Big snook screams drag and breaks butt of fishing rod incorrectly stored in rod holder! Long time Bud n' Mary's Marina customer Jeff Godlewski lands a big snook on light tackle fishing with Capt. Rick Stanczyk out of Islamorada, Florida. While waiting for a bite on the 2nd rod, Jeff puts his rod in a rod holder near the bow. However the rod holder is one that is a little funny and also serves as a cup holder, and if you aren't careful when you put a rod in there and spin it around so it goes all the way down, the butt can break when you hook a big fish. This is exactly what happens, though Jeff reacts quickly and grabs the rod before it gets pulled overboard and he still gets his fish! It's all laughs after that and serves as a great tip for other anglers out there.
