Huh, still working on this, my inputs with the effort you've gone through.
A flexible grabber tool might do the trick. This one is 60 inches long, hopefully that would be long enough. You might be able to buy a similar or longer one at a hardware store.
This has pretty crappy reviews, but it is worth a shot.
