SV - Yes! Lesson learned, albeit an expensive one! He's going back out tomorrow with a makeshift hand gaff.
👍🏼Good luck.

How about trying a magnet if there is enough metal on the rod and reel?
Magnets only work on iron or steel, which rust when wet. That's why they're not used on anything but cheap rods and reels.

Was bass fishing with a guy a month ago and he got so upset about a very very large smallie coming unhooked at the boat that he threw down his rod - it bounced once and was gone! Loomis rods don’t float either! I won’t fish with him again after the Tirade he threw after that. It was his own fault. Hate to confess but I was not sorry that we couldn’t snag it after trying for two hours.
Sounds like he should take up golf, he would fit right in.

The price you pay fishing once in a while, try to be more careful I guess

I always have marker buoys in boat. Before good electronics I used them to mark drop offs and rock piles. They've come in handy a few times with lost gear overboard. Toss in asap to mark location, gives you a better chance of recovering gear. Make your own or buy the florescent ones.
