One chilly December day we were fishing in a tidal river at Charleston SC for Redfish when we saw a bad thunderstorm headed our way. There were 10 of us in 5 boats, mostly small jonboats. We tried, unsuccessfully, to beat the storm back to the ramp.
One of the boats was running beside us and the guy sitting up front started stripping down to his drawers and stuffing his clothes into a dry storage box in the boat. The guy running the tiller motor was getting drenched as were the rest of us because the storm beat us to the ramp. Well the guy driving the boat went to get his car and trailer while his skivy clad buddy waited in the boat.
By the time we all had our boats on the trailers everyone was soaked to the skin and shivering.
It was then that Mr Skivies collected his dry clothes and headed to their car to put on the dry, warm clothes. His buddy came over to me and said "watch this". When Skivies jumped in the car he let out a yell and jumped back out and started waving his fist and hollering at his buddy.
Remeber the old hard vinyl seat covers they use to put on cars? Seems as when the guy that backed the car down to the ramp and pulled it out he turned the AC on full blast and left the car runnning the whole time we were getting the rest of the boats out. When Mr. Skivies wet, almost bare rear end hit the cold vinyl seats it was quite a shock and out he came hollering and cussing. Keep in mind it was December and the air temp was in the 50s and we figure the car temp was slightly above frostbite.
The rest of us just laughed at him since we were all wet and he was the only one with dry clothes.

One spring day my wife and I decided to go to Lake Conway to go fishing . I was trying to teach her how to help get the boat in the water. After a crash course on starting the motor I slowly backed her down to the ramp . The boats slid off The bunks with ease. I looked back and she was standing up pull starting my old 9.9 johnson motor so I pulled the truck and trailer up the ramp. As I was rolling my windows up on my truck i hear all of a sudden screaming blob blob blob JW blob JW help. I looked in the rearview mere and noticed my wife bobbing up-and-down in the frigid water and my boat taking off across the lake. I pulled the truck into a parking slot and went to assess the damage. The wifey was waiting on me at the ramp drenched from head to toe. I asked her if the she was gonna swim to my boat. If looks could kill lmao that day I wouldnt be here. Luckily the boat motor was in choke and headed toward the long pier. I was able to recover the boat without getting wet. Needless to say she won't run an outboard anymore. I think I could've won AMV that day.

One afternoon I went to check out the river and see if there was much action on it. When i got to the ramp I saw a gu backing his little s-10 down to the ramp. I proceeded to get my boat ready when hear some yelling from ramp. I look over and see the guy in the s-10 sitting in his truck half submerged in the water with the headlights beaming up in the air. He inadvertently put the truck in reverse and not drive lol. I unhooked my boat and pulled the guy out from the ramp. The kicker was that it wasn't his truck but other guy who was pulling the boat on the trailor.

I was fishing with a friend and his dad at Tunica back when I was a teen.We were over on the River side and had caught a few bream and crappie. My friend was on the nose of the boat with a paddle, his dad in the middle, and I was on the back!All of a sudden my friend decided he had to relieve himself. The boy loves to fish but has a shorenuff fear of water and being in water. We were on the outside edge of some dead trees so my friend took a good looksee to make sure no one was around, he undid the top button and unzipped his pants and was trying to be careful not to wet himself. This old 14 ft johnboat had a fair size front seat so he was standing on it holding onto a good size old willow tree. Bout the time he started to go, he realized that he was pushing himself away from the tree and that he was going to fall in the lake. Being so deathly afraid of the water he took a desperation leap for the departing tree. While in flight , his pants decided to fall down to his ankles. When he hit that tree he had a deathgrip on it and had skint up his upper body cause he had his shirt off while we was fishing. Well there he was hanging there in his tidy whities when all of a sudden a ski boat appeared full of young women and men. They saw him hanging in that tree and started hollerin and blowing their horn and laughing. To make his situation worse, his dad had taken his canepole and was goosing him in the butt with it telling him to hurry up and get back in the boat! We finally got the boat back up to him and got him down out of that tree and the front of him was skint all to heck!If I had a camera, I would still to this day be makin him pay!!!:Rofl Remembered this after I had posted the other one so take your pick!

My brother-in-law and I decided to take our sons fishing one afternoon this past spring, so I rushed home from work to meet them at the ramp. I jumped in the boat and we were off, we positioned the boat for side pulling and started putting out lines. I hadn't been on the water 10 minutes when we heard a splash. My 11 year old nephew went head first over the side, and his dad was on his feet and had him by the waist in seconds. So my brother-in-law is holding his son, who only spent a few seconds in the water, by the collar of his shirt and the waist of his pants when all at once "POOF!" His brand new inflatable life jacket (that he was wearing for the first time) discharged as he hung there in mid air. He looked like a little balloon from the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. I grabbed my phone and snapped a pic, which I immediately texted to his mom (my sister), who had expressed concern about the effectiveness of the inflatable vest, with the message "new vest works great!" A few seconds later my B-I-L's phone starts ringing and he just looks at me and says "damn you." Needless to say the trip was over in about 15 minutes. My son and I sat around giggling all night over it, and all 4 of us still laugh whenever someone brings it up.
