Default I found someones tackle box! $400 dollars worth of lures and reels. Including cash inside.

I found a tackle box in the snow someone dropped when they were pulling there sled. There was tons of new lures including cash inside. I unboxed everything on camera. See what happens at the end.

I am actually going to start putting my contact number on all my valuables now. After I lost my lures last month. i'm pretty certain someone would have contacted me if I did leave my contact details on my bucket and tackle box.

Refreshing part of the day is when you know good people walk among us. Hats off to Huyfishin for doing the right thing.

Haha when I called him on the phone I asked him for permission to record our interaction because I make YouTube videos. He said he had no problem with it

Unreal. Good on ya brother. After losing a tackle box myself I was pretty upset. The outdoorsmen community could use more folk like yourself unfortunately.

Good on you for returning the tackle box full of lures to the rightful owner I hope good fishing comes your way for you kind gesture!!

A buddy and I had been fishing with tip ups for pike in late March one year. We stayed until pretty much dark and there was an local old boy fishing in his shack a few hundred yards away. We packed up what we thought was all of our gear
and left. The next morning the old boy stopped at my buddy’s house he had left the ice about 5 minutes after us. He dropped off the tip up that we forgot in one of the holes we were fishing. He said as he was driving by and he seen the flag up on it so he stopped and grabbed it. He ended up with a 10lb pike to take home. When he dropped the tip up off he said “you can have your tip up back but I’m keeping the fish.” Lol

Sorry to hear about your lost tackle and awesome job on returning your find.

Hit me up in the summer and I will gladly take you out on the boat to the lake of your choice.
