Hey J and Mark---got one better than that...I CHECKED the boat to make sure that the net was in. It was! Knew the Musky rods were locked in the boat's rod locker and took off aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllll the way across our lake, through the 1.5 mile thorougfare to the other lake, then all the way to the other side to my selected fishing grounds for the day. Man...could have chucked lures for about 15-20 minutes till I ran out. Left all the rods on the porch, where I had replaced all the reels braid during the storm! Top it all off, my rain gear was on the porch too, and guess what happened on the trip back...uh huh! My wife was laughing her butt off because what I thought was a have a good time fishing wave, was her actually trying to get me back for my rods! Oh yeah...gets brought up several times a year. I'm with you JK...stuff happens!
