Had a Falcon Cara / Citica slip out of my hand sandbass fishing at Lewisville. My buddy dropped a marker buoy as soon as he saw it go. Grabbed another rod w/ 1 oz slab on it and snagged the line after about 10 minutes of cast/retrieve around the marker buoy. The water was about 10' but without the buoy for reference I don't think I would ever have found it. I kicked another one off the deck at Texoma around the islands in even less water but never found it....and yes, I'm a klutz.

FYI old harddrive magnets are super strong. Hang on a string
and pull up anything metal within a mile.. relatively speaking.

You're not a klutz - there is a lot of stuff going on in the first three feet of a bass boat. It just happens...

I lost a custom rod and green Curado while canoe fishing in a gin-clear lake a few years ago. I was landing a smallmouth with another rod and must have knocked the rod over while landing the fish. I didn't even notice it was gone until I had paddled 20 yards away.
The water was probably 10-15ft deep and crystal clear, but I wasn't sure where it dropped, so I said goodbye to my favourite rod and nice reel that day. I still get upset thinking about it....lol..stupid canoe!
