I had a little trouble Saturday right in front of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant while running back to Chester Frost from up river. I was running on the plant side of the channel when all of a sudden HELLO CABIN CRUISER WAKE emoBang, Went a little air born well a lot air born emoDoh my rod locker flew open strap came undone and low and behold dumped I believe 7 rods in the lakeemoBawl. Thinking kindoff quickly after noticing the deck of my boat looked bare compared to just 30 seconds ago I saved a waypoint on my electronics so that I could come back later to find them. We were fishing the Walmart/Coca Cola tourney and were trying to make it back for the weigh-in in hopes to recoup some of my recent loses and that didn't work out either. After the weigh in we headed back to the spot I had Marked and followed my tracks that I thankfully keep on my units and started fishing, 15 minutes later I had a double on a Chrome and Black XR75 in 12' of water emoCool I immediately dropped a bouy and contiued fishing 10 or 15 minutes later another double 3 to go then my buddy caught the next 2 thankfully! I told him he needed to pick up the pace because he was getting skunked and it worked and that leads us to the one I am still missing if anyone finds it I would love to have it back so please pass the word. It was practically a brand new combo I put together it was a 7'-10" Quantum KVD MedHvy Cranking Stik with a Black Quantum KVD 5.1:1 Reel with flipping switch and it was all rigged with a Chartreuse Sexy Shad DD22 tied on it. Oh and it Floats I am almost positive didn't know this originally or may have found it first you live and learn. Thanks in advance could even work out a reward for someone who finds it and returns it.

You can PM me or call me 423-593-7322

My thoughts exactly. The good Lord was watching out for us Saturday for sure, definitely could have been much worse.

Thanks to a guy named Chris who saw the thread here on the forum and an honested guy he works with Jesse Johnson the who found the Rod and Reel, I officially have recovered all of the lost rods and reels unless I counted incorrectly again because this one was actually #8!!!! He found it down just around Pinkies Point I would guess a mile from where I lost it. Completely unbelievable.

Thanks Again Jesse, Chris and lets not forget the CFF.
