$Reward$: Rod lost on the Siletz!

I have a reward out for a 30 year old Fenwick glass plug rod last seen exiting my center rod holder with large Siletz Steelhead attached to a hotshot. Can be identified by streaked greasy dude fingerprints smelling faintly of Pizza flavored Pringles. If found you may keep rod as I just want the fish that dared jump over and over laughing at us. :grin: :grin: :grin:

Hey Grant, found your rod right after you left that slot. Picked it up in the tailout (didn't know fenwick made a yellow rod with a picture of a bird on it). Sorry, couldn't get the fish for you. As we removed the 4/0 treble from it's back it slipped out of our hands and back into the drink. You can thank me later.... :shocked: :grin:

How did I know that you would be the first the reply? :tongue:

For you, your down fall was those greasy fingers from your little bag of snacks.
Mine was bait slimed hands - slicker n snot!

I guess I'd never loose a rod, if I just leave them in my room. Yeah Right!

Oh well, Rods that gather dust should be given away.

I dont know if we ran into the same fish, but just before the town of Logston (sp) on the Siletz Saturday, I had one on that was by far the biggest Steelie I have ever hooked. Could not get his head up, and after about 5 mins he spit the hook. It would not suprise me if this one took a rod befor he is done. Glad to hear you had action, even if it was brief.
