Have you ever went fishing and lost your fishing pole to the water with a fish

attached to it? Or just lost your pole for some other reason? I once was fishing in a small pond with my fiancee's fishing pole, which makes it worse. And I laid the pole down and kept my foot on it so it would not go in. Well I stood up and when I reached down to grab the pole there it went flying intothe water. Of course, I probably could have dove in after it but I didn't. So, I lost the pole and there was a fish on it obviously. Ever had any experiences like this?
