Luckily, I haven't lost much yet from my kayak (knock on wood), just

one pfd knife,

one wrist watch,

and a set of lip grippers and needle nose pliers that were attached to a leash but not attached to the kayak.

Thankfully I lost the lip grippers and the pliers, at the launch and someone was kind enough pick them up and set them on the dock and I found the a couple of days later.  My drift boat on the other hand has donated (2) anchors and my favorite bait casting setups to the local rivers.  Momma's not to happy about the anchors!
If it wasn't for flashbacks, I'd have no memories at all.

I know lures don't count but I planted about $40 worth of rapala 'seeds' today >:(  On the other hand, I did manage three to four smb per lure.

Every time I lose a bunch of lures, I make my self feel better by reminding myself how much I used to golf.  You pay $40 to play a round and lose balls at $1 a pop. ;)

Well, I haven't really lost anything..... YET.  Course, I've only been out 4 times with my yak.  Two of those were on the salt.

I was trying out the new yak (used, but new to me) and my repaired dry suit.  Had never been in a yak before and needed to practice self rescue.  That all went fine.  I had brought two rods with me as I new there were trout and heard that there may be bass, in Big Creek Res.  Hadn't leashed a thing yet.  Didn't figure I had to worry about that on a placid lake.  Well, the wind came up, and I was casting my bass rod.  Had to reach a little further back than normal for my cast arc as the bow was to the left.  As I swung forward I heard a weird click sound and my bass rod stopped, mid arc.  As I looked back, I was able to see my ultralight trout setup plunge into the abyss.

45 minutes later, after bringing in every stick and small log off of the bottom, I was able to snag the thing and get it back.  I was elated and even looked around to see if anyone had seen that save.  Nope.......  self appreciation only.

Now, I leash everything!  But I hate those plastic crimp on clips.  They are impossible to get off of your eye pads when your hands are cold...... and you're OLD!    :o

Okay.  This sport is getting a little spendy, and I appear to be a slow learner. 

I met up with Jammer on the Willamette for a quick bass outing.  We fished for awhile and I was not catching anything.  Jammer had to leave before me, so I fished a bit more down near the railroad trestle.  Then, as it was starting to get dark, I made a nice long and leisurely troll back to George Rodgers Park hoping to pick up a walleye for some AOTY points.  I had no hits until right near the "ROCKS"  sign out in the river by the park.  It was such a gentle hit, I thought I snagged something.  However, I ended up reeling in the feistiest little 4 inch smallie ever.  I describe him as feisty because he was caught with a 3 1/2 inch walleye deep diving crankbait, and he tried to bite my thumb off. 

It looked like it would be a cool picture (4 inch fish with 3 1/2 inch crank bait in his mouth) so  I opened up the nice, safe dry bag in my center hatch and removed my wife's non-floating, non-waterproof digital camera containing videos of the kids which she had not had a chance to down load.  See where this is going, yet??

Then, after photographing him and unhooking him, he bit my thumb and made a break for the scupper hole.  He wasn't quite small enough to fit so I caught him and let him go gently over the side.  Then, I put everything back into the dry bag and hatch...or so I thought.  I realized that I did not put the camera back in the bag.  I thought it was down in the hatch and decided to verify.  I leaned forward to look and heard a "ploop" noise and saw something camera-colored heading for the bottom.

 I know... a piece of foam tied to it would have been smart.  But, I just borrowed it this one time and I figured I would only use it in an emergency (AOTY upgrade). Besides, what is the point in having flotation on a non -waterproof camera...other than being able to salvage your wife's pictures and videos of the children from the card.  All I can say is this never would have happened if I wouldn't have dropped my Playsport overboard a few weeks ago. :P

As you can guess, I am currently down some serious WAF points.   :'(
