Getting your lure snagged sucks, especially if you’re fishing in the river. There’s always that moment where you need to decide if you’re going to keep yanking or just give up and cut the line. This fisherman didn’t give up and got HUNDREDS of new lures for his determined efforts.

This is hitting the jackpot, assuming they’re in good condition. There are way too many lures to count, but a conservative estimate would put the value of these in the thousands of dollars. Nice catch!
