Luckily, I was in position to chase after it and w/o considering the consequenses, I went in and got it as it was going down.
I surfaced to hear my partner LHAO! It was Winter, I was all wet and cold. I had my jacket on went I went in.
Low and behold, it was also "just a 2 pounder" on the end of the line.
I had to rescue my rod, it was brand new, on it's first outting!
