Consolation prizes

[JapanRon]

Hey there hedgesd,

Here's three incidents I was involved in to some degree in the last year.

1) I was struggling with a big cat and a guy came running with a net. I gave him the fish. He forgot his tackle box on the bank and I never saw him again. Put ad in paper. no good. Tried to have a local tackle shop hold on to it. no good. What can you do!

2) I go to a lot of landings very often. Some guys sell stuff that's left on the boats. The open-party boat's usually have a 'we know nothing about it' position. I've been offered whole boxes of forgotten stuff for almost nothing. But the fishing gods would be .

3) I left 2 brand new jigs on the hood of my truck which was pointed toward the open asile for a whole day with anglers going on 10 or so boats and no one picked them up. Came back and there they were!!!

In this day and age, you can just about expect to accept the loss of something forgotten.
