Location: Park Ridge, Illinois | I can’t really believe this, but my Plano Muskie Box (the big blue & gray one) blew out of my boat yesterday on I-94/294 southbound somewhere between 173 (Rosecrans Rd.) and Interstate I-90. If anybody happened to recover it please let me know. Thanks! |

Location: Athens, Ohio | It's amazing the amount of lift an object in a boat can get on the highway, especially when trucks are passing. I nearly lost a heavy duffle bag that, in the rear view mirror, I saw levitating up from the boat's floor. I started using a boat cover with great frequency after that.
Hope you marked your box with your name, addy, phone number, and it returns to you intact. m |

| I lost a princecraft boat seat about a month ago on my way down to shelbyville. It was snapped down and in the seat base. I had a battery behind it completely out of the wind and the cover came off that too, before the seat blew out. |

Location: Park Ridge, Illinois | There was some debate last night at our monthly meeting, about the possibility of the box blowing out. Many people said a fully loaded Plano Big Game Box (7915) would not blow out, and that it was probably stolen. There was a very small window of opportunity for somebody to snag it. What do you guys think? |

| I had a Plano blow out that was filled with bucktails and spinnerbaits a few years ago. I saw it happen. By the time I was able to exit and turn around, somebody had picked it up. Never got it back, but it does happen. The Plano was on the boat floor as well and not on the deck.

Location: Hayward, WI | It wouldn't seem like it could blow out, but I've seen it happen to a couple people on these boards in the last year or so. At least one of the guys did get it back.
Hopefully you can be another one of the guys that gets your back!

| Kind of depends what you got in it. I can see bucktails not being heavy enough to hold it down, but my 7915 is full of bulldawgs. Ain't no WAY that's blowing outta the boat. |

Location: Columbus, Georgia | Ever purchase a fishing hat that was purported to "float," only to find that when you doubled-back to retrieve the hat it was nowhere to be found?
Happened twice to me last season. Those hats sank like stones.....

Location: ohio | hope you get your gear back, it's possible but not likely. If some dirtbag stole it i hope he sits on the most rusty, dullest, biggest hook you got and has a three hour drive to the nearest e-room,only to have to wait another three hours before he gets it removed by a drunk doctor who is ticked off because he got paged during his weekly golf outing and had to leave !
Hope this makes ya feel a little better ! |

Kinda funny you put this reply up here, Zach's hat flys off every year when we are fishing the FRV and we have to turn around to go get it, Cub hats don't sink very fast, Thank God |

Location: Kronenwetter, WI | Dude--
That sucks---might insurance cover the loss? I have pix of all my stuff for that reason..I need to get camera out and re-take pix of new baits from this winter.
During '05 the Nat'l Open in Eagle River I had a clear plastic bait box with a bunch of hand-tied bucktails and marabous inside that I had made. We pulled off one lake to run to the next and when we got to the launch the whole box had gone from the bow of my boat.
We backtracked but never found. Of course, they were all my most productive tails....that sucked.
1 in a million someone on here picked up, let me know!
Best luck on your box. |
