I had some friends & their kids fishing 4 of my poles in a bluefish blitz and they managed to loose about 15 tins (yes my whole collection and I am STILL trying to rebuild it! HAHA) not to mention about another twenty or so assorted plastic lures & rubber shads. the blitz lasted a couple HOURS! I hate to think of the $$ that was lost that evening but no amount of money could buy the laughter and enthusiasm they showed and in return gave back to me! I was retying and scrambling for more gear the whole time I didnt even fish myself and yet it was one of my most cherished fishing moments! They offered me $$ to replace and still try to make up for it to this day and I have yet to accept a dime because I feel I have already been paid.
