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.

Hm.....well, if you didn't find both there's a good chance that it
belonged to Jeffie, or wayno, or Mike, or Ken, or Dave, or Joe, or
Tim, or Tom, or Steve, or George, or Mark, or John, or.......well, you
get the picture.

Boy-howdy (yumpin-yiminy for you cheese-heads)! I've been floating down
****
Creek in that condition for YEARS now.

Hm......wrong Tim, I think. Sounds like you are without one; I was
referring to those who didn't have both of 'em in the water.

Now see, there's one of life's eternal mysteries. Every time I've heard
the expression it's been "up **** Creek without a paddle". But obviously
Mr. Johnson is correct, if you have no paddle, you're going downstream
for sure.

So you've been up **** Creek with one oar in the water?

Once while trolling a shrimp net to gather bait on the way to an oil rig tie
up for fishing, we once got the bottom half of a human torso and legs in the
net, ****ed that day up. Damn coast guard and the Lousiana state police
wanted everything that day, not just the torso.

On a more positive note, found a bag once with nice flies and "smoking"
supplies, Gave the flies to a kid in the parking lot, didn't even try and
return the other stuff

Fishing the currents in front of Harford's camp on the Rapid, I hooked a yellow
fly line. I pulled on the upstream end and got a little bit of line and then
backing. After about 10 feet of backing, it snagged and I couldn't get it off.
I imagine there was a reel stuck between some rocks, but I couldn't get it.
I brought the line in with a figure 8 retrieve on my right hand. Got all of it
plus about 10 feet of hand tied leader. No fly, no reel, but I did remove a
mess from that river.

My sanity.
Was it valuable?
Not much, apparently
did you return it or try to?
My boss bought it off me for what he thought it was worth.
