OK folks, let's hear it. Seems someone is always loosing something while out fishing (Wali), and the rest of you have lost a bit of stuff as well. >:D Tell us your cautionary tale of loss.
I've been lucky so far. I've lost 3 pairs of needle nose pliers, one folding knife, a couple of dead fish, a hat and 2 pairs of sunglasses.

When I had a Sit in kayak, I lost $30+ in atificial lures and swivels when I spilled the tackle box,compact leatherman tool with it, Micra i think it was called. Another trip i lost the home made lawnmower wheel cart I made by forgetting the 2nd bunjee. Also lost some sun lotion back in the early days in a rented OK scrambler or similar and got huge sunburnt legs.
The lost keys and knife dont count on Timothy lake, I dove and recovered them.
Funny you should start this thread, I found the thread on 300# line coiled into leashes, I have 10 leashes now lol. I didnt want to post in it and revive an old thread.

Penn International 965 on a Lamiglas Kenai Special. That was enough to get me to pony up for the T-13 and a rod pod. License, tags and permits.
All that stuff was lost last year, I think I'm up the learning curve enough I haven't stored any gear in DJL in a while.*
*Thanks again to Yaksurf for snagging my drybag at Stonefield. Saved me from a swim back out to get it after the clip failed, and caused him to huli.
