Two weeks ago, I kicked two new Okuma rods with BB1 reels overboard. I am not as "graceful" as I once was.
So this morning, I spent some time with a scuba diver, and managed to find both rods.
I got to thinking about it and these aren't the only two I've ever kicked overboard, I was wondering if anyone else has ever lost anything "over the side"
Thank God it was good old clear Possum Kingdom and only ten ft of water!

Yep but luckily cheap glass blown out. I am pretty careful about putting things where they can't get knocked out because I can't afford to replace them. I did almost lose my tackle box in some rough water though

Glad you got yours back!

Oh yes, I certainly have! 2 pairs of costas, 1 pair of ray-bans and a spinning reel. All in separate instances. One was not my fault at all. Was fishing Fork several years ago with a buddy. I had a rod laid up against the console and he was fishing from the back of the boat. He reared back for a bomb of a cast and hooked the end of my rod. I had no clue what had happened and my rod ended up 40 yards from the boat on the bottom of Fork...was not retrieved. Ridiculous!

Fork also took a pair of costas when I threw a fit over missing a 5lbr on a frog. Bass blew it up in the pads and I had him hooked. Unfortunately, he came off right at the boat. That's when I threw my rage fit and spun around nearly throwing myself from the boat. My costas on the other hand, successfully managed to fly from my face and right into Fork.

I've paid my dues, it's about time Fork pays me back!

Bragged about how long I'd had my Costa's and how good they were, then the next day I let them blow out of my boat. Getting older sucks! I'm losing something or tearing something up almost daily now.

Funny you should post this-lost a spinning rod and reel on Texoma today. Was trying to tie a new lure
on and the rod slipped and went overboard. Not a real expensive set-up but still hurt to watch it sink
out of sight.

2 All-star "Tom Mann" carolina rigs, one on Toledo the other on Richland Chambers. An All-star WR1 on Conroe and an All-star shrimptail special 35 miles offshore. And one pair of Oakley polarized "straight jackets".

I was lucky enough to recover three rods that hit the water.

also lost a cell phone on Canyon lake, watched it as it disappeared into the depths, almost like loosing a friend.

I've lost a few rods and a chronarch or two. Life in the fast lane. Nothing worse than hitting a wave and seeing a rod with a chronarch rise up and slowly arc over the side before hitting the water and then disappearing in a splash faster than the body can react.

O yes....
Worst thing EVER.... Left town about noon on Thursday after drawing 5 $100 bills from the bank. Get to UTE a few hours later... running down the lake with 5 Benjamin's in my shirt pocket.. get up to speed... something blew out of my pocket.

Only got one of them back..

Sorta like the geico commercial where your wearing money and its just flyin off ya as you motor to your basshole..

Yep a 3 foot pink Barbie zebco combo. Tried like heck to blow it off until I looked into the tear whelped eyes of a four year old daughter. Got out the jigging spoon and dragged the area for a couple of hours, when I drug it out of the lake it was like Santa had came again.

I lost a ding in anchor spike last Sunday with nothing good on board to try and get it with... 10ft smooth glass pole, hard to grab. Got to start at it standing straight up out the lake bed though, pretty cool looking on the DI taking up 1 pixel standing on end haha. I know where it is and I'll be back with something clever sometime soon to fetch it.

Also lost one of my Abu rigs overboard after my best day of fishing ever on Lewisville, and was so happy form the awesome day I was like whelp, even if I lost it still best day on water here ever... then proceeded to catch it dredging with 1oz of weight and a bare treble hook to finish off the most amazing day ever.

Well half of the cash was my partners. by the time we realized it, we turned around and were able to net about 80 dollars... the rest is buying meth at the local bar im sure.

Now that I re-read this, im not all that careful.

Yes last Saturday running across ray Rob the seal on my cowling came off and thecowling blew off....

couple of years ago I raised my rod box and lost a brand new Powell rod and BPS reel. wasn't the first time either.
