Favorite toys and old I can't do without stuff will cause some tears to fall when lost or misplaced. I hope you can find another one and yep put on a safety device of some sort to keep from going through the pain again. Can you retrace your track and use down image and look for it. I carry big treble hooks on the pontoon in case someone drops a rod over the side. It has happened with Henry, and it was retrieved. I found my cousins I pilot which popped off the front of his boat due to the high waves of a wake board boat last summer.
