You're not gonna believe this stuff. Was out there fishing at Conway today, and hooked into something on the bottom...Look at what I found, again. Still had the $25.oo price tag on it. It's odd enough to hook a rod, but hook it in two consecutive trips??? Haha. I got 'er in the boat this time...and, I left the cork out there if anyone wants dibs on it.:D

Say, that looks like a swell fly rod.
You really did have a good day of fishing!
Chris could you please explain to the folks why you make your fishing buddy cut boo and drag it from Saline Co to Little Rock when you have a huge boo patch right beside your boat?
Glad you found my rod. Sure hope you didnt scratch it or it will cost you.
Does that mean that you caught the same rod both times or you caught a rod on two diffent trips?Quote:

LOL, LOL, LOL. That truly is amazing. Sincerely, I'm glad you got it, because when I got it to the top of the water and lost it I saw that it wasn't even algaed over yet and new looking. Did you snag it from the bottom or the line from the submerged float extending from it?
Are you guys saying that not only did he catch two poles two trips in a row but he caught the same pole as well?Quote:

By the way, is that Bamboo behind you there Chris?
His neighbor would catch him....lol... it would be hard to hide condos while the neighbor is wondering what happened to his bamboo.Quote:

Saturday afternoon of our stalk, Darryl and I are sittin' in the boat haning on for dear life during the hurricane winds. One of Darryl's rod tips start bending over in the water. I thought it was hung-up, but Darryl just kinda kept lifting it. That dam rod (still with line, hook, and float) came up just like a crappie of a lifetime does. She came up, rolled over on the surface, and waved goodbye as she headed back down for the bottom. We got just a good enough look at the rod to know what it was.
I went back to Conway by myself on Tuesday morning. I was sitting there pluggin' along, when one of the rod tips started slowly dipping into the water. I thought that I was hung-up, again. Just like last time, it had some give to it, so I brought it on up to the top of the water. I had a good hookset this time, though. Had the hook around the rod itself about 3 eyes down from the top. The rod hasn't been down there for very long at all. Maybe a week or two. The way it looks in the picture is the same as when it came up.
Yep, should be a good story for the grandkids one day...
A little WD40, Reel Magic and then 3-in-1 oil and your should be in business. I am very pleased you got it. It looks like a very nice rod for verticle pole-in-hand fishing. The key there being "pole-in-hand" otherwise it might end up back where you found it, LOL.
chris,
I would watch that rod. Friend of mine found one last year with a wally marshall baitcaster crappie reel on it. took it out, and on the 1st fish, the rod broke in half. sometimes they don't hold up real well if they are submerged for any length of time. good find though.
