Found rods and reels - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

steveooo · 06-26-2011, 10:13 PM

Funny Thread!

lowprofile posts a good samaritan deed saying he found the gear, trying to find the rightful owner.

Nothing to doubt about this story, he's giving away free fishing gear

Dumbass on CL accuses someone of jacking the rod because he's a dumbass and leaves them @ the launch, because he's a dumbass.

Classic stuff!

Good Deed lowprofile!

I'm sure karma will repay you generously

either way, i am sure if i had lost my poles then i would be fuming too. just happy to see that it will end well. am sure the guy will be one happy mutha once he gets in contact with lowprofile. hopefully he'll buy him a beer at least for looking out for him.
good karma and be safe in Afghanistan

It sure would be nice if the guy posted a retraction of the theft and admitted to his error ,on top of posting what a cool guy Lowpro is !!! Just saying

Cool Lowpro....Good Karma. The craingslist post did seem a little harsh but from talking to the guy on Sunday getting off the water he seemed like a pretty cool guy. I'd probably be a little pissed if I thought my rods got stolen. I think him and his buddy both just assumed that the other loaded them in the truck. They packed up and took off pretty fast. We landed at the same time and they got out of the way faster than I did and they had a boat and motor to deal with and all I had was my kayak. I hope he realizes how lucky he is that you were there to get his stuff and try so hard to make sure that it made its way back because there are a lot of people who would have probably just looked at it as free gear for the taking....
