Thanks for the compliment Wakina.

I lost the rod at the northeast corner of South Bass island in 8 fow maybe 300 yards before you would run into the point that comes out. I started to make a dive for it but realized I still had my phone and wallet in my pocket, so I watched it go. We tried casting to snag the line and dragged an anchor a few times but no luck. We saw a smallmouth jumping in the same area and thought maybe it was hooked. Anyway, there is a nice rod and reel sitting there.
