Thread: well it finally happened to me

    Re: well it finally happened to me

    my grand father was casually casting out time and time again during the day, not alot was happening and the next thing the rod and all was cast into the ocean. not sure if he was half asleep or calling in quits for the day.

    also reminds me of people leaning over to net a fish and also watching their mobile phone fall out of the top pocket.

    After diving into the briney chasing my sunglasses a few years back with phone etc in pocket, I now have a waterproof container that the phone and car keys go into as soon as I get on board.

    The old man did same fishing for mackerel. had his spinning reel sitting in the boat not in a rod holder with a pilly in the water (for some stupid reason). Mack hits, rod flies into the water.

    about an hour later he catches some line. pulls it in from 1 end and retrieves his rod/reel. Winds the submerged rod back in and retrieves mackerel. Or so the story goes.... 2nd time its happened to him too, First time not so lucky with the retrieval.

    I thought it was going to read... I forgot the bungs!

    But I have lost a Rod too, to a Kingy. Was on the other side of the boat trying to net one when I heard that noise of a rod flying over the tinny. By the time I went to the other side, I could just see the Rod fading deep into the blue, was about to jump but hesitated. Was devastated that day as a few hundred went down!
