Whats the best or strangest thing you have found while fishing? In the
water, in the parking area? Was it valuable? did you return it or try to?


Took a friend surf fishing over on one of the barrier islands, Baldhead
Island, NC, about 15 years ago. Ricky was newlywed and young and poor. I
loaned him one of my favorite surf rods with an Ambassadeur 7000 reel and
extolled the virtures of a big baitcaster for Red Drum fishing. First cast,
Ricky is squealing and hollering that he has something. Things just did not
appear right. There seemed to be no fight in this fish, unlock the typical
Drum. Ricky keeps cranking and pulls in what appears to be a almost new and
in perfect shape Ambassadeur 10000 with a really nice 10 foot surf rod. He
picked it up and reeled in the line and there was a Drum rig all ready to
be baited and fished. It was a great day for him. The fishing god was
smiling. He still fishes that combo to this day.
