Years ago, a buddy and I were testing a tunnel boat on a river.These boats top 70 mph no problem. Anyway, my buddy is ripping down the river and fails to notice this old guy fishing from the bank. He runs over the guys line and the rod flies from this guys hands and launches about 30' in the air.The line breaks and the rod/reel heads into the trees on the other side of the bank still heading uphill. The old guy is stunned. He gives me a WTF just happened kind of look.After he recovers, he starts making noises that it was a $200. combo. After a bit of searching, the rod was found tangled in a tree about 25' up. My buddy climbs the tree and retreaves a K-Mart special rig worth about $10. Shortly after that, the butt beat a hasty retreat.I would never pay without a reciept.
