Wow that sucks......but the last comment did make me chuckle!!!
My Biggest worry is that when I'm dead and gone, my wife will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it.

Tight lines and be safe.

At least now the fish can call each other.

Yet another excuse to use---"They were phoning each other with warnings not to bite on shiner minnows before inspecting for hooks"
Keep yer stick on the ice!

Really, it was time to replace the phone.   But it's got me thinking that I'm finished with Apple.  I did hook up an old iphone to get me back on the grid, but really... #%^* Apple with their planned obsolescence and proprietary everything.  I'm looking at "ruggedized" Android phones now.

And I'm still really noticing that dead-sticking the jig can bring in the fish when nothing else does.

I had the iphones from the the first one until the 6.
Fealt the same way went to a S7 still have wicked rugged.
I like the external storage with the SD card.
Much better set up than the apple.

My S5 (underwater currently) was ran over by a car or 2 in a lifeproof case and lived.  I have an S7 active now that has been great regardless of how many times I've soaked it or dropped it in snow.

You are not kidding.  AT&T has a decent program but your still paying for at least half the phone unless you trade it in.  Id still be rocking the S5 if I didnt test it's anchoring abilities.

I had a ruggedized phone a few years ago, it worked great. My father called me to ask how the bite was just as a perch bit so I set the phone down next to me, after the catch I started to pick the phone up as another one bit. Now the phone is at the bottom of Champlain.  :%$#!:
