Rod and reel combo w/ plug attached found in shallows of the Wynoochee some years ago while summer run fishing. It had been there awhile...probably fell out the back of someones boat during the previous winter season. Tore down the reel but it was toast. Rod and plug were salvageable. Even used the rod as a spare for a few years until it finally broke.

Also found a crisp $100 bill at a takeout one time banana.....paid for a nice dinner and re-stocking of some fishing gear as I remember. Also a long time ago.
