Found tackle boxes, rods and reels, a small fishing pliers, brand new shovel, boat cushions, bumpers, anchor, life jackets, many lures, and unfortunately way too much trash.  Did retrieve two free floating sail boats that had broken their mooring lines.

Took my dog with me one time, and while I was launching the boat he was sniffing around the access doing godknowswhat.    About 2 hours later I was pitching jigs behind docks and the dog started yakking.   Up comes a slimy #1 black/blue pork frog.    

I put it on my jig, caught a 3 pounder and one other keeper.  😂 

True story.

Last summer, on the Black River, I floated over something shiny. I back-paddled the kayak and dove in after it.

Someone had dropped their waterproof pouch with an iPhone wallet and keys. The phone screen was shining because it had just missed a call and that’s how I saw it on the bottom. 

When we got back to the car the phone was locked but I hit the Siri button and said “call mom” and it dialed mom. I gave the lady who it called my number and she told me her son lost his stuff he day before.

The son called me and I gave him my address and he and his dad showed up promptly as they live nearby my home.

They couldn’t believe I had all their belongings. 

Turns out the dad had a bug spraying business and he insisted that he spray for bugs at my house and my brothers house( my brother was with me when they collected their things) no charge.

I once found a 16 foot john boat with trolling motor, a man's wallet, cell phone, and other items on the seat along with a bow fishing rig. It was about 100 yards into the woods on Oologah Lake in NE Oklahoma. I was deer hunting and noticed it just after daylight. When I saw all the stuff left in it I was concerned that maybe someone had maybe fallen out of it and drowned. I went to the local police department and told them what I had found and ask them if they had had any missing person's report for the guy. Instead on taking the ID I found and checking it the officer ask for my ID, witch I gave him but thought it strange. He then told the women working the desk to run my ID for warrants. Had to hold my tongue. While they were doing the warrant check on me I call the local game warden and he ask where I was at and when I told him what the local cop was doing his reply to me was yeah that is officer so an so and he is a really big A-hole. I got my ID back and walk out without giving them the ID I found in the woods, all the while they were trying to get me the give it to them while I was walking out of the building. The game warden met me outside and I gave him the ID and location of the boat. The next weekend I was sitting in the woods again and just after daylight I noticed and couple guys walking through the woods, and they were not wearing any hunter orange even though it was black powder season and they should have. I noticed one was a game warden and I figured they were looking for the boat. They were and the other guy was the owner. He said he had been bow fishing in he spring and the trolling motor quit and he was blown to a tree line and had to wade out in waist to chest deep water. He thought he could go back and find it the next day. He couldn't and assumed it sank or blew away. Glad I could help the guy out but hope I don't ever have to interact with the Nowata police department again. Also floated past and young couple having sex on the river bank, about 100 yard down stream from the Tyler Bend put in. They weren't trying to hide and they stopped just long enough to look over and smile as five of us floated by.

A couple years ago I was duck hunting on the Big River and found a fireman's O2 tank and harness wrapped around a floating tree. When I went to grab it thought for sure I was about to pull up something else.

Turns out it was stolen from the Cuba Volunteer fire dept along with a bunch of other stuff and must have been ditched.
