14 foot brand new aluminum boat floating down the Chehalis river on incoming tide some 10+ years ago. Went up to find a cop at the boat launch store in Cosi and had him come down before I tried to hook the boat. He came down and I made one sweet cast over the boat, pulled the in the weight and hook right into the nose and dragged it in.

I wasn't about to go and try and snag the boat without someone down there. My luck there would have been a dead body in it.

I didn't get to keep the boat because it was claimed fairly quickly by the dredgers in the river at the time. It has been knocked off and went un noticed. Would have been nice to have but couldn't just keep it after I found a cosi Cop to watch me hook it and bring it in. The only thing that sucked was I didn't even get a thank you from the company after saving their brand new boat.
