How to retrieve your keys from a pond... 
Yes, this is my ultimate "Ahhh! I've lost my keys" scenario. 

Pic 1 - A nice fishing outing on the Messick's Pond. Notice the red encircled keys. I like to hang the clicker in my pocket and let the keys hang out so they don't scratch my phone. As you will see below this is not a very smart idea and has plagued me ever so much with loosing my keys.

Pic 2 - Note how the keys are missing from my pocket. I did a little casting and cast my keys out of my pocket and right off the dock. Jordan, Steve and I are now watching the bubbles of where the keys disappeared, contemplating their recovery and wondering "How deep could it really be?"

Pic 3 - Well lets see how deep it is. This is only a small pond... mind you, Jordan and Jimmy both caught 18" Bass moments early... and I hate ponds for fear of having a bass mistake my fingers for worms.

Pic 4 - So I still haven't reached the bottom...

Pic 5 - Time to get a little adventurous. I have reached the bottom, but no sign of the keys :(

Pic 6 - Time to go all in - Head first, both hands - Important Note - I recently lost 19 pounds. My jeans are not very tight anymore. There was a close call at one point, but thanks to Steve and Jordan I remained in my pants.

Pic 7 - Ah, Success! 

Special thanks to Grant Black who just happened to have his camera to capture this wonderfully embarrassing event!

Yes, the clicker still works.
