Sorry to be a whiner, but I thought I'd share my worst hour of fishing with you all.
T'was a beautiful day........ I went to cast my lure, and when I did, instead I cast my rod. It landed in the water just past my boat....... I thought quickly...... Grab it! So I reached out with my right hand and just missed it by inches.....
Again, thinking quickly, I thought if you reach with your left and grab the motor with your right, you can still reach it. So as I lunged with my left hand, I reached for the motor with my right hand. My left hand reached the rod fine, but my right hand being wet, slipped off the motor and I went in head first.........
Did I happen to mention that the motor was RUNNING? And it was in gear too! I came to the surface rod in hand and then I realized the boat was moving away. It was the rod or the boat so I grabbed the boat and let the rod go.
Somehow I was able to get the motor shut off without getting into the prop. Climbing back in the boat was then an easy task. Not letting bad luck ruin my day, I went back to fishing. While fishing I decided my clothes would dry faster if I took them off, so I started peeling off clothes. That was when I realized, MY PISTOL IS GONE! #$@%^&$#@#$#%^$$##$$%#$#$%%#$#@#@##
A few minutes later I hook up. As I'm bringing in my fish, I accidentally bumped the rod in the other holder and "ker plunk". Downward it goes. I reach as quickly as I can, but more carefully this time........ But still, as I reach my glasses get hung up in the rod holder, my chums slip loose, and down go my glasses, right behind my 2nd rod.......... Ugh!
4 lost items and $600 later, I'm sitting in my boat, fishing in my underwear............ What a day.
