- Primary Interest:
- Beach & Shallow Water Hunting
I was hunting a crowded beach in waist to chest high water.
It was a little choppy from the wind along with a current that if you were on a raft you’d travel a football field in 2 minutes.
I always carry my phone in one waterproof pouch and my wallet and keys in the other.
About an hour into the hunt my phone rang and when I looked down that’s all I saw.
That’s when my heart stopped.
I held up my phone pouch and started asking everyone in the direction the current was moving.
After 15 minutes this one guy with his wife and kids said “wallet and keys”?
All I had was a $20 bill and I forced him to take it. If I had more with me it would have been his. I thank you again Sir, where ever you are.
This is the aluminum clip that got stuck in the open position. I’m going to the dive shop tomorrow for a strong one in stainless.
The moral of this story is check your gear!!!
