Thread: Nobody will believe it

Sounds like something I would do, sorry for your loss of your fish.

I really hate it when I do something bone stupid like that and I am sure most of us did that at one time or another. OR in pulling a basket of fish and the basket bottom opened up on you. Oh well, turtles will have a ball getting them.

Been there done that.

you not the first one to do that.

Last Saturday I fished a lake you can't use a gas engine on. So I prepped the boat for launch, took the rarely used front rope and tied it to a sign at the ramp. Backed the boat in till it floated off the trailer then parked the truck. I then grabbed my minnow bucket and PFD from the truck and meandered down to the ramp when I noted the rope was no longer connected to the boat.. there the boat was floating away with me wondering if a swim was in order.

The good news is I got help from a guy with a John boat. He gave me ride. Lesson for me - check those ropes for damage/wear.

Damion, You caught a nice stringer! That is very positive when many others have been struggling lately. Good job! BTW...I had a similar issue a number of years ago in Washington State trying to string a ~30lb King Salmon. It happens to us all.

Ouch.

Yeah spaceman.i hadn't even thought about going.i usually have a basket and tie it off.it normally have everything in my work car.but I took it out to make room for some things.but I got off early and it was so nice out I just decided to go catch or not.i found them by accident.i cast and had a loop in my line.it landed just a few feet from the bank and I caught one before I could reel in.decided to try again and caught a few.a pleasant surprise.
