How stupid can you be.....

[Raven]

the stripers were going nuts (or blues) in a feeding frenzy that i could visually see from shore ok as there was a tornado of terns diving and screaming a 1/4 mile out as i looked around with binoculars so i jumped in the row boat to hurry to our Boston whaler
and set my rod in the whaler while untying the mouring line.
Unfortunately the rod butt was on top of a boat cushion and when i stepped into the whaler my foot landed on the other edge of the cushion and sent my rod catapulting high into the air capoosh and down it went.... i dived for it several times but never saw it again. that was not a good day. did you buy it with cash or credit? some credit card companies have built in loss insurance for certain purchases....
