I witnessed a bit of a scuffle down at the surrey docks today   and would like some input    a guy was casting   and another man had his rod lying in every ones way   and it happened to get hooked and tossed in and could not be recovered     ( this man had had his rod lying there most of the day not paying attention or moving it when asked )  and he proceeds  to yell and cus saying it's the other guys fault   even after   the other guy offered to help come to a solution    now do you guys think this was a 50 50 type if thing   where they both could have done things to avoid it or is one person more at fault than the other           on a side not there is apparently 1000$ set up around the surrey docks it any one catches it

my smelly socks happens. Don't leave your gear laying around where bunches of other people are fishing.  Especially during a Pink year 

[ShaunO]

My smelly socks = poop 

[zacrum]

See thats what I think to   I mean either have your gear in your hand   or out of harms way

[Rieber]

That's great comedy. I wish I was there to see this.

Sucks for the guy who lost his gear but too bad chump - move it or lose it.

$1000 set up lost - lucky nobody got stabbed over this. That of course would not be funny at all. 

Geez - $1000 would have bought him a lot of Pink Salmon.

Exactly  I mean who uses a 600 reel and 400 rod for pinks ..... it was really  fun to watch at first until he started to look like he would get violent

[NiceFish]

Okay so you use your 1000 dollar set up for pinks, whatever.... I could see some people doing that.

HOWEVER, who the heck leaves their 1000 dollar set up lying around carelessly?

[zacrum]

That to     especially on an over crowded tiny dock in the middle of surrey

I'll admit I hooked my buddies spinning rod about 4 weeks ago while fishing out of a boat and it fell into the water. Before I could get a net on it, it sank. The rod was standing up vertically, so it was kind of in the way, but I felt that I should always be in control of where my hook is. I paid replacement value.

[Tenz85]

I'd bet he has a couple icbc claims in the works too.

[Blood_Orange]

Seems a little fishy that he would leave such an expensive setup just lying around. The dollar value was probably overinflated but the guy who hooked it has some responsibility, too. It would have been a nice gesture to make some kind of monetary offer to the guy who lost his rod but if he was claiming $1000 then I can't see them agreeing on a price. Glad it didn't come to violence!

[Fish Assassin]

Was that guy fishing ?

[riptide]

Surprised someone didn't break out their hidden betties and start flossing for it . Joking of course

[zacrum]

At the time nope he was sitting in a chair taking up space   a good 4 feet from where he had his rod lying down wich was about 2 feet from the water   but no line in or any thing    kinda like he wanted it to happen

[zacrum]

Not gunna lie  tons of people did Bettys  and trebels trying to get the rod   but no such luck    I was gunna pull out the tanks and wet suit but it's the fraser don't wanna see body's tho
