[QUOTE="Sarn, post: 34716, member: 1545"] A similar thing happened to me.... We were carp hunting at a local lake, it was winter, it was cold. I didn't set my drag properly and left the rod precariously leaning against a low wall. The rod took off landing in the water and got sucked down (well we lost it from view anyway). About 5 minutes later we spotted what we thought was the reel a fair distance away. My boyfriend jumped in the very very cold lake (Canberra in winter is cold!), swam out to it and dragged it back. Now keep in mind that he is a land lubber and not a strong swimmer, plus it was a cheap as rod, think I bought it for about $15. He came back in with the rod, i reeled it in and big arsed carp was still on the end of the line, seemingly exhausted from dragging my rod around. :) We got married about a year later, but it was on that day that I knew he was a keeper. :D the fish on the other hand....
