With zero thought, I dove into the water after the pole and was able to catch it. Unfortunately my cell phone was in my pocket. I thought the phone was a goner. I immediatly took off the battery and rinsed it in fresh water because I knew that the salt water would be death. I got as much of the water out of it as possible and wrapped it in a towel. The next day I put the battery back in it and it worked! I was fishing in Key West from a friend’s boat and accidentaly dropped a borrowed fishing rod into the water.
