Once,I was fishing for salmon in Paluski,New York.way up state.I took a real nice digger tumbled and rolled & completly submerged, rod in hand the whole time.The scuba session lasted only a few seconds (I shoulda broght the spear gun instead)& I traveled maybe 30 feet or so,It felt like forever.Some how I landed on my feet.
I was also totaly green to wading in fast water,after that I was a quick study to wading in fast moving water.Somebody (

)was looking out for me that day.
Alot of people are using PFD's now a days.
Some how the rod didn't brake
