Well now I don't feel to bad, I also donated rod, reel, and rapala to the water, however, I had some help. I had just landed one and threw out the rapala to troll while i unhooked it and another hook up dragged it right out from between my legs. During the process of turning around hoping to snag it, I managed to lose my down rigger ball also. In 35 odd years of fishing, this was my rod first donation. We did catch 15-20 between the two of us, but all were shy of 18 inches, biggest was 17.5. Great day till the wind came up. lLft about 4 after towing a broke down ski boat in.
