Lucky you! Havent come across any like that, but pulled out the waders a few weeks back to get back a heap of lures we'd lost cast along the edge of some reeds. Got back about 8, so over $100 worth easy.

Also went snorkelling once to get back a harimitsu jig that was half a dozen casts old and about 10m from the pier. Spent half an hour or more and came out with at least a dozen jigs (some were cheapies that we gave to the other guys on the pier and they were wrapped), including a few harimitsus, yamaDohDohDohDohas and a few others. That was good

wish I could find half of what I have lost. Most of them end up well connected into a fish before breaking off, so not much hope of getting them back. Did wade across a river upstream, and then walked down the other side to pick a presso off a tree once - shouldn't have bothered - it was way deeper than I expected, and ended up going for a swim anyway

Did find a bonus 10gram silver slice in the tree - that will come in handy at the next atlantic salmon escape.

Twice this season we caught flatties that coughed up gulp

Pre-fishing the Mallacoota Classics i hooked a pointer 48 in the back split ring, on the same day my mate i was fishing with got busted off by a big flattie and lost his lay-down minnow only to catch the flattie three or four casts later with the lay-down minnow in its gob

me and my brother were smashing trevs at exmouth with plastics and then he lost his.
put another one on and found it again.
same story but this time it was up the beach!
