You know for sure that you were fishing behind someone. I have been very lucky with my rods overboard. I have retrieved my own rod from a log jam in Red River the day after it went overboard. Also managed to find one that the wife let go in Cypress Lake. As soon as it hit the water I hit the waypoint marker on my little portable gps and went back a couple of days later with some snagging equipment and found it on the first cast. We also let one go overboard up at the bridge in Mooringsport and about one hour later some guy pulled it up and hollered out that he had found the rod. The wife had told everyone who was within earshot about her rod going over the side. I believe that the only reason I was able to get the rods back was that a lot of line was out and it was pretty easy to snag them. None of the rods were high dollar equipment just Zebco spincast equipment but it really feels good to get your equipment back after they go swimming.
