Anyone see my tackle box?

[Sal329]

Hmmmm so we moved from FL to TN in Dec 06. I know I seen my tackle box then. I have well had 3 tackle boxes. One BIG one I had since I was about 8, so thats 18 years, the other ones are smaller one for saltwater and the other is one I load up so I do not have to lug my big box all over the place. Well went to go fishing and get my tackle in order and it's missing. I asked my stepson he said he seen it in the garage but hasn't touched it. I know I seen it but now can't find it. Man this is depressing so many things all piled up now I have to start all over again.

Sorry I needed to share my story with someone

That sucks.  Right up there with losing your boat seat.   >

That's a bummer to lose gear that you've had that long. Maybe it'll pop up when you least expect it. Sooner rather than later.

The bait monkey stole it!  He wants you to buy new stuff!

 Venting is so much better when you KNOW that everyone will feel the same way you do :'( about the situation.

 If you're like me, you probably put it someplace special so you would know where it's at when you started looking :-?. Not to pour salt on the wounds, it gets worse the older you get ;D

I'd be lost without my tackle!! This is my pride and joy, he means everything to me. The boy does too...just kidding. Thats Jake my 4 year old with most of my tackle. He cried to go fishing after we took this pic...we did, for 20 minutes..." I have to go poopy " You know the story. We still had fun and we go again friday. He LOVES to fish. We will fish for 3 or 4 hours and he will not even complain, not once. And Im talking strictly lures, no sunnies. Thats my boy. And yes, he watches all my videos and is a nut just like me:)

Of course he is interested in it. You are his dad, anything dad is interested in is cool.

Loosing tackle and equipment really sucks.

Last year I lost a tackle box loaded with quality hardbaits.  It went over the side when my canoe tipped. (Hence the stabilizers) I was able to recover some stuff but most of the good stuff and the box itself remain "swimming with the fishes".

This past year was the worst.  I was night fishing in a big cove and lost a Loomis GLX w/ daiwa TD-Z over the side.  I have no idea where.  That's a $700.00 outfit and the most expensive I have ever owned.  The reel had come back from reelmech that same day.  

I still drag the bottom with a home made contraption of weighted trebles etc.   I probably will do that every time I fish that cove.  But in my heart I know it's gone.

Depressing, but it's all part of the game.

Well, you have to finish unpacking some time

Who knows, maybe in a year or so you'll be going through some boxes and find your treasure...kinda like finding $50 in an old pair of pants...but better...

OUCH!  Hopefully you didn't have any rough seas...

[Guest the_muddy_man]

Was that a MOOK REFERENCE

[Panamoka_Bassin]

Unintended, but that's the best way to have a mook moment...  I guess every so often the mook in me comes out  (oooo, that didn't sound quite right...)
