Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Coincidence, or luck, or what?

25 years ago we chartered a boat on Lake Michigan. Down riggers, out riggers, it was all decked out to catch co-ho and steelhead. My uncle started getting sea sick and tossed his cookies over the side. Unfortunately, at the same time lost his prescription glasses into the drink. About an hour later I look into the water from the stern and see something flashing. I watch for another 5-10 minutes and realize that the ear piece from his glasses had folded around the down rigger cable and was slowly working itself back to the surface as we trolled. We scrambled to action with our landing nets and successfully worked them off the cable and into our net.
