I am the man in question I thought I would tell the real story. I posted on three different boards to locate the owner of this gear,I spent hours on the bank trying to find the owner. While searching today I decided to try and recoup the money I spent since that money was for gas. A man called me while I was on the river and was the owner of the gear. I agreed t opp meet him at my class I go to school at night. I told him on the phone that I put out 35$ for the gear but would not charge him t opp get his own gear back,as a profit was not my intention. I am a die hard angler. I met , him he was the owner and we chatted for a few mins, and he gave me 25$, I lost ten dollars on the deal but a nice guy got his gear back. Im ok with that I got enough gas money to get to work till payday. I dont steal I dont do drugs and anyone who thinks otherwise can come pay me a visit. Anthony called me yesterday and we determined it was not his gear. There u have it the end..
