This is a true story. Some years ago when I was going out on Charter Party boats for Salt Water fishing we had a guy drop his rod and reel in the ocean. We stopped catching fish at that spot so the captain of the boat moved to another spot. After a couple of hours the fish stopped biting and we moved back to the first spot. You guessed it, one of the fisherman on the boat hooked into something. It was the rod that was dropped overboard. That is one in a lifetime chance. Tony
