Lost Rod and Reel Combo Found

Fished Pompton today. Best thing I caught all day was a very nice rod and reel combo hanging from a tree like a Christmas ornament. If it's yours, let me know the details of the combo so I can get it back to you.

Interesting find. I've heard of rods caught from the bottom, sometimes they fall overvoard, but how does one leave a rod and reel behind in a tree?

Sometimes I bring two rods; and if terrain is hard I'll hide one along the way for a little while and double back for it. Try to not do it too much. Maybe twice a year. But no, not mine, thou it's in my neighborhood

It was in a tree branch overhanging the water. Only could get to it by boat. My guess is they got snagged by shore, went to free it up and while doing so, their rod that was sticking up out of the boat snagged on the tree and they didn't notice.
