Only one thing I've ever lost overboard: My bro-in-law and I went out on a charter boat. He realized that he had forgotten his rod & reel, and since I had an extra one with me he borrowed it. Brand new, never been fished before. (Masters rod with a Diawa 50H reel on it)
So we're standing on the stern with several other people drifting chunks for Blues.. and a guy on the opposite side of the stern gets a bite and the fish goes crazy...running back and forth, fouling everyone's line. Stupid Mate grabs the line, and instead of cutting it he gives it a hell of a yank... and of course he pulled my brand new rod and reel out of my bro-in-laws arms just as he was lighting a cigar and not really holding onto the rod. We watched it float out back of the boat and go down to Davy Jones as a gift.
