FOUND! How I Found My Favorite Baitcaster (Realistic Fishing Miracle)

This is how I found my favorite baitcaster! Is it a Realistic Fishing miracle? I still can't believe it. A fortunate series of events has transpired and I got my favorite fishing rod back. The All Star T38X is back where it belongs. It was picked up by the park service and stored in a lost and found located two towns over. After making a ton of phone calls I finally tracked down the elusive combo. I hopped in the car right away and was able to retrieve it! What would you do if you lost for favorite baitcaster? Would you try to find it?

Who dislikes this?? Probably that bluegill hater. Screw that guy.

[@RealisticFishing]

Some people just hate to see good things happen. They are called losers.

[@sparks2spare782]

Alex I truly believe it’s karma from you picking up bags of trash and balls of old line out of the water that you got your rig back. So glad you got reunited!! The fishing gods look out for responsible and respectful anglers like you.

[@mr_b22]

Wow.. What a dramatic episode.. A real who done it. The missing gear, the unlikely witness at the scene, the detective work piecing together the moment by moment trail of evidence, the stake-out at the crime scene and finally the successful reconnection of rod, reel and owner. Congratulations on a job well done.

[@RealisticFishing]

When you care about something, you put in the effort required. I am happy to have it back

[@fishlovme]

That's awesome that you got your rod back. There are a few honest people in this world left! My dad had a rod and tackle box stolen right out of his boat once when we went into a bar and grill right on the water once to eat lunch. You gotta be a real low life to take stuff right out of someone's boat in the middle of the day!

[@RealisticFishing]

Ugh, luckily in my case it is was a guy doing his job and not a thief

[@retroman9164]

Losing something with sentimental value can be rough, but getting it back is like finding treasure.

[@CWilly87]

Sometimes there are still good people in the world willing to return a treasure to you in a world of so many selfish people! Restoring faith in humanity

[@RealisticFishing]

The people involved were good people 👍

[@DAaron67]

Super happy you got it back, Alex! Thank you to all involved! I know the feeling, I once lost a little 1.5hp motor at the boat launch as a teen. Took it off the boat to put the boat in the truck after fishing late into the night, in my haste to get home I left it sitting near the launch. Went back the next morning and it was gone. A year later, my dad was visiting my late grandfather’s closest friend, and he told my dad about this little outboard motor he found one day. My dad couldn’t believe it and told him my story, as you could probably guess he insisted my dad take it back. Sometimes things just work out. Happy for you.

[@RealisticFishing]

I like these kind of stories 👍

@@RealisticFishing 5 times in 4 years that the mailman has put my mail in the wrong box and the dirtbags that got it kept it. I have the postal inspector involved now but if somebody was going to be honest and bring it to me, they would have already done so. I have zero confidence that I will get it.

I really am happy for you Alex! I was “bitting my nails” the whole show. I had a VERY sensitive and memorable rod stolen in that robbery I talked about. A Pflueger spinning combo with MY NAME ENGRAVED ON IT. It was given to me at possibly one of the hardest times in my life (searching for boarding school). I would love to see the robber get ultimate justice and get my rod back.

let the love light shine on you brother!!! people should be thankful for what they have...instead of worrying about having more than the next guy. in one swoop it can all be gone .
