[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 670133, member: 1414"] While working on Koolan Island 60's/70's became friends with Vic Kappa who took his boat out most weekends. He used a Penn overhead reel for his fishing. One trip, before my time, early 60's, he laid the rod & reel down on the engine box while he topped up his vodka and the line snagged on the bottom and the rod/reel went over the side. Move forward a decade and once in millions miracle happened, he snagged the rod and reel and brought to the surface, much to his absolute amazement. His next trip to Perth he dropped in to a fishing shop to top up his fishing tackle box and mentioned the miracle to the shop owner. Weeks later back on Koolan he was contacted by the shop owner and was told Penn would be interested in taking a look at the reel. He sent the reel off and another month or so went by and the reel came back fully restored at NO cost. If I can find the old photos I'll post them here. Miracles do happen. [/QUOTE]
