Sorry, but I would have just pointed the rod at him and said you won, instead of throwing $1000 worth of equipment overboard. Never knowing if you would be able to retrieve it or not.

We were on a very large flat with less than 30" of water so I was 100% confident that we would recover the outfit. I was less than confident though that there would still be a fish attached to it when we did get it back.

Speechless!

My heart would have broken. What is that rig worth? Congrats on the best possible outcome!

I threw it willingly to hopefully keep the fish on. Didn't drop it. We'd rather be luck than good anytime : )

Video removed? Oops. I see your post up a few now.

It's back up now, sorry for the trouble. Thanks to all for the kind words. I still have goose bumps : )

Hello luckie88

I saw what was about to happen and knew if I didn't throw it, I would have broken off the fish. I knew i'd recover the rod, just was not sure the fish would still be on the line. Worked out GREAT : )

All the best
