Figured something was going on as you were closing in with plently of free water around.
We had 2 hookups but chaffed off after two short fights. Then tried a fresh crimped up thicker floro leader on a red balloon ... you know the ending.
I retrieved the balloon with hopes Flouro/swivel/bait/hook would appear, but nothing ... dam that Floro is expensive.
Oh well, played chicken to hold my water space and lost. Should have listen to my buddy.
Get your cousin to an eye doctor!
