Funny, I too was looking for a repeat on the PR yesterday. Lost 3 lures and slipped in the mud, I somehow kept it together lol. But yes, I have javelined my pole on more than one occasion lol

About the most I ever get is disapointed. Fishing for me is not only about catching it's about fishing. I sometimes fish with slip bobbers when I know other methods would be more productive, but it's just so relaxing drifting with some bobbers out, on a summer evening. I very seldom throw any atificals as it's to much like work. That's another thing,I always wonder how come everybody say nice job or good work, fishing doesn't have anthing to do with work, you know how the song goes " WHO'S THE JERK THAT INVENTED WORK" sogy bottom boys.

I had a few memorable equipment losses over the years. I try to look on the bright side and use it as an opportunity to upgrade.

My favorite was dropping an expensive camera into the depths of Spruce Run Reservoir when it slid off the hatch of my kayak when I tried to take a selfie.
I used the self-timer to take a selfie then I tilted the kayak to release the bass and heard a 'BLOOP!'.

A few years back, I loaded up my car at the boat ramp at the Delaware Water Gap and drove away. I didn't realize it until after I got home and was unpacking the car that I left ALL my fishing rods leaning up against the car.

Passaic is frustrating because you have to wait and wait and wait until it reaches decent levels. This can often take months(8 months between trips for me) so when you finally go, you hope to do well 'cause it may be another 2 months until u can go again. If we get 0.5" rain today it may be a week before its good again. My "spare" 6' ugly stik has been promoted until I get a new pole.
