Sonny, don't beat yourself up too bad over the camera. I had to go in to save my favorite, and went without thought or question. Best rod for 1/16th ever made(to me at the time, and it was a gift) and a Diawa Capricorn reel that has been the smoothest I have ever handled at any price. Lost my glasses, phones don't swim so it went too, my camera in one pocket and a wallet in another. But I came up with the rod and the rest could be replaced. Glad you're back up and running and we always enjoy the pics.
