it is amazing how much one person will gather in a couple years, My tackle box started out 13 inches long, 8 inches high and 8 inches width, I moved up to a bigger one dimentions 18 inches wide 11 inches highe 11 inches in width. and then I decided to go smaller and my box became one inch high, 3 inches in width and 5 inches long... yep it fit in my pocket, for years that was my box, I never realy needen anything bigger than that when I only target gills, My rod shrank down to 11 inches in lenth so it could mound on a bycicle for cross country trips... or go in the glove box for a quick jump on a river along side the road if I saw a fish jump....
now my box is, well the biggest of my 9 boxes is 24 inches high, 20 inches wide and 5 feet long....
the only difference between now and then is that now I do the kids fishing so I need a box that size so I can keep every thing in one place,
I think I remember your boxes, that would have been a mess on the bottom of the river, for weeks to come... and a real danger for the next person who took a dump around that bend.
Hope the reels werent to hard to clean after the dunk... I know if ya dunk them in lake michigan it is a stop and clean emediatly situation because of all the sand...
