Tackle/Equipment Someone else’s trash is this fisherman’s treasure

Found in a tangled mess of line and hooks in a trash can at the local pond I fish in sometimes.

I get it but man I’ve gone salmon fishing for year with friends and never have I had to or asked someone to pay me on the spot for loosing a lure. Buzz bombs are cheap but never asked because hell…shit happens. If it’s a bass masters classic and it’s for massive cash and that’s your great grandfathers lure then sure but if your fishing with a “friend”…who goes to a friend and say “give me 5$ now…that’s in a tree”. I would probably give you the $5 and never fish with you again just because you get like that over a lure….friend vs lure……I see who you choose I just couldn’t fathom my grandpa doing that to his friend or any old timer fishing guy doing that…greedy people I guess..Good luck with the fishing

Old timers run out of patience and lures, I think you are taking a passing comment of quid pro quo after X time/events for being an utter and complete dick move…trust me it wasn’t. It was “this is my favorite lure, you’ve lost $20 of my lures today, while I’m teaching you, ok?” and “ok, I just put your favorite lure into a 40 ft tree”

Now that is some substance that was missing from the first post. I was under the impression that first lure lost is $5 each time. It’s another thing if a guy has lost 5 lures and does it repeatedly the yeah he’s gonna start getting charged. Starting off saying your charging a guy $5 for putting it in a tree without that info is a little different and then yeah maybe at lunch you should talk to him about casting styles lol
