I found my favorite rod!!!

NO WAY!!!

Over 2 years ago I lost a fishing rod.  Not just any fishing rod.  My favorite, most lucky fishing rod.  I had no idea how I lost it.  This was when I lived up in Seattle.  On Saturday, I found it inside my T11.  It must have slid back and I never noticed it.  Until Saturday that is.  Craig and I did a float down Austin Creek.  At the put in, I opened the rod pod and there it was!!!  How could I have not seen it in over 2 years.

WOW!!!!! 

Usually find stuff like that after you buy it's replacement! 

Would have loved to have the seen the look on your face.

 Congrats Allen! It was a blast. The seat wasnt in there. Hah!

At the put in, I opened the rod pod and there it was!!!

   But Officer it's been in there for two years

Kind of like finding a $10 bill in your pocket after you just put them on for the day.  Bet it made your day.

I'm guessin the rod cost more than $10.......

Did you buy a lottery ticket after you found it? 

I'm gonna look inside my rodpod right now! Who knows?!

Peace, y'all

This rod was the first rod I bought when I first moved to CA in the mid-90's.  I had just gotten out of grad school.  GLoomis 1021C hotshot rod with an Abu 6500.  I was really sad when we were moving back down here and I couldn't find it.  I knew I had lost it about 6 months prior, but figured I had stashed it somewhere.

I can ship them, or you can get your mule to pick them up next time he's down here playing in the salt ponds.
