Back in the 80's my Dad lost a Diawa baitcaster trolling at Webster along the dam. Exactly one year to the day he was fishing about 300 yards further down the dam and actually snagged it and got it back. He put it in the minnow bucket and took it home and disassembled it and cleaned it all up. It still works perfectly today although I dont use it. The wife uses it for decoration in the living room...
