Yeah, two shots near the tail... Paint was gone when I got it... Was found that way.. judging by rust on the hook it had been in for a while....

Hey Salty, you aren't using water color paints, are you?

Belly hook was gone as well, and the tail was snapped at the bend.. swivels were stretched out... Was fond snagged on a washed up lobster trap.... Wood has no dings or dents.. seems otherwise in good repair, even the thruwire is perfect....

Oct 24 2003,While fishing in front of the Andrea we were into 10 lb + blues one after the other.I was throwing my "gtf out there plug", a Salty Seagar (electric blue mackeral).I had just taken a photo of a big blue with said plug in his mouth.I tossed my plug out there, really puttin' my shoulder into it when there was a violent shake at the tip of my rod and I could tell the plug was gone.I've never had a palomar knot slip,maybe this is what happened?But plug, 3 ft long leader(floro) and crosslok were gone,and I was planning on retiring that plug cause she had lotsa battle scars on her and served me well on the Cape too.I dunno if that's the plug but what a coincidence.Last time I saw my plug it had the belly hook but the belly grommett had come free from the body and was being kept on by the swivel and hook,like I said I really used this plug.Anyway, that's my sad story of loss this season,I just stared out at the ocean in shock when it happened.... johnny "the Ratt Boy"

Yeah I broke a rod that night.. I guess neither of us brought our A game that night, though I think I bagged a 20 that night, or the next I forget...

too funny
Small world.
Im gonna start putting nametags on my nice plugs with a small reward attached. If one ever came back it would be worth it just to tell the story behind it.
