[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 359350, member: 1417"] When I was a kid my brothers and I used to fish below a dam for bullheads. Once I was taking a break and leaned my rod against a log - the tip sticking up in the air. One of my brothers was casting and his hook snagged the eye at the tip of my rod and in the river it went. The kids across the river started laughing at us (we gave them the finger) and my fishing was done for the day. About an hour later the same brother snagged the thing and pulled it in again. In the days of one rod and reel and a cigar box for a tackle box, that rod and reel was a pretty precious thing. I never expected to see it again. We weren't trying to find it, it was a complete fluke that I got it back. Don't know if you dropped a marker where yours went down or have a GPS location but seems it might be worth a try - knowing the chances are pretty slim. [/QUOTE]
