So, I went out trout fishing. While I was fishing, I was casting my line out trying to get some fish. All the sudden, I felt something dragging on the end of the pole while my line was in the water.
Thinking it was a fish, I hooked it. Unfortunately, it was not a fish. It turned out to be someone else’s fishing line snagged on the bottom of the lake.
Being a good citizen, I brought in the rest of the line that I snagged to dispose of it. Problem was, it was still heavy, as if something was dragging on the bottom of the lake. When I finally got it in, I realized what it was.

I hooked and brought in someone else’s fishing pole off the bottom of the lake with my fishing pole. Unbelievable. Everyone on the dock was speechless.
After I got it in, I had a good laugh, then I went around and asked if anybody was missing a pole. Nobody was missing one, so I kept it.
The model is C/TMF-462MLS. It is 4‘6“ long, and two pieces. Reel was included when I found it.
It also says South Bend 04/2014 on the bottom.
I actually was able to restore it by getting some new line on the reel. It is fully functioning now. It just needs some lubrication on the reel.
Now I need to see if it will catch the trout I am looking for.
All in all, a very funny find/catch.
I’m not one to exaggerate fishing stories, what I said is the truth.
