What Has Hurt You The Most In A Boat

You know I just really despise Yellow Bass...I cant tell you how many times I have been stuck by these critters. What good are they other than stealing your minner, sticking you with their fins... or slicing my thumb wide open with thier sharp gill plate to where I needed stitches when i tried to nicely release him of course. The COUP DEGRA was when I did try to clean a few big enough to fillet I found countless baby crappie in their Guts. I Hate Yellow Bass. I wish i could eliminate every darn one of them from the face of the earth...but you know that ain't going to happen because they are EVERYWHERE!!! by the millions. This fish gets my vote for most my pain and suffering in a boat. What's yours. LOL

Making the payment every month.

BAWAHAHAHA!!! Gomer ya I felt that pain for three years. Finally made that pain go away.

Hate them!

My back.!!!! My favorite way to fish is a single pole in the grass, pads, weeds tops etc. I fish standing and it gets me right in the middle of the back but I just can't do it sitting down. I guess age will dictate that before long though. LoL

Red Wasp!
I was way up the river on nimrod and got stung one day on the hand! I'm highly allergic! By the time I got back to the camp my hand was the size of a football!

Was duck hunting grassy one morning, heard some shots, then a boat take out after a cripple! Shortly there after heard a scream !!! Turns out a young boy had a hold of the top rail of a boat and his dad driving hit a tree smashing his fingers! Have not heard of them since! Hope all is well!

I sliipped off the tounge of my trailer last summer while pulling the boat out, on my way down, I caught my nose on the front of the boat, I was pretty sure I had broken my nose, but didn't afterall. But I did get a 45 minute nose bleed, one of the longest bleeds I have ever had.

I was trout fishing the little red after big browns and hooked into a huge chain pickerel , when I landed the fish he went to squirming and flopping and buried the treble hook from the crank bait I was using deep in my hand and the more he flopped the deeper it went, ended up having to cut the hook off with plies just to get that squirming sucker released, painful for a while!!


You can take the boy out of the country but you can't take country out of the boy

Hanging my finger in trolling motor fold up and then falling overboard and yanking it loose,also lost glasses. Other than that it was just another great day of fishing.

The price of gas!!!!!

Silver Carp!!!! I have had the crap beat out of me by those stupid jumping carp.

I hate yeller bass too.

I had a 2 lbs bass on one end of a Bandit, and my left index finger on the other. All I had was needle nose. I couldn't get to the hook to cut it. I pushed away from the barb and pulled it out. I did OK until it was out. Then I wanted to puke and poop at the same time. But, it really didn't hurt until the next day. It was numb the whole time I was hooked.

I don't like yellow bass, gas prices now, don't like getting hooked. don't like when a pole go swimming

Was fishing last weekend and found some brush and there was a perfect stump to tie up to and fish for a bit. well I came in a little hot with the trolling motor and did not want bump the stump due to the fact the brush was right on top of it so without thinking one bit I put my hand down to catch the stump and stop the boat well catching the stump went great the boat on the other hand did not want stop. Smashed my hand between the boat and stump on top of it being pretty dang cold i would have bet I broke every bone in my left hand.

Them hybrib bass are just as bad as them yeller ones IMO. Ive been tored up by them several time. I have a glove in my boat now thats pvc coated dedicated to the them yeller and hybrid bass as well as catfish. I am surprised no one has mentioned getting horned by one of them.

Unlike white bass, yellow bass are very tasty and there is no limit. I've never caught but two in my life, though.......

As for the thing that has hurt me the most in a boat..............same thing every time..........watching my fishing partner sit in the back and outfish me 5 to 1 every time!

Is was fishing with a buddy on Degray one night running from one spot to the next at about 50mph I had a bat hit me right in the jaw. Killed the bat and about knocked me out. Had a huge bruse and black eye the next day.

Let's see somebody top that!!! :yikes You're on the hot seat, Slackline, as far as I'm concerned! Thanks for the post, man.

Well, I did see my partner in the front of the boat, do something that involved hanging over the side......in the dark......that I did NOT want to see in the daylight. And that's all I'm gonna say about that!!!

Bumble Bee in the mouth and stung me before I could spit it out! Tounge swole up bad.

When I was a young boy my older broinlaw thought he would be funny and at the end of a day fishing on an old river bed in our 12 boat decided to take the paddle with him when got out of the boat and push me back out with no paddle.
I had a catfish pole with me that was spooled with 25lb line and a good size hook and 3 oz sinker. I cast to the bank and snagged a root and started pulling myself to the bank and yes, you guessed it, the hook came loose and my hook and sinker came straight back at me! The sinker hit my cheek and hook caught me square in the lip. I tried to work it out gently and then finally panicked and ripped it out.
Let me tell you now that sucker bled and bled. Carry the scar of the hook to this day almost 20 years later.

I'd have made good use of that pole when I hit land...
All up side his head!

I fished with a guide once that would take every yellow bass we caught and slam it as hard as he could throw on the bow of his fiberglass boat and let it bounce into the lake stone cold dead. I reckon he didn't like them either. As far as pain, I had my young nephew with me an he was trying to cast a rattle trap and forgot to open the bail on his spinning reel. The end of the rod whipped around and I got a nice treble hook buried in my shoulder. I guess if that's as bad as it gets, I can't complain too much:)

Ouch, the mouth! I have had ratl trap hook me in the ear and a few fish hooks in my arm, but I don't think I could imagine being hooked in the mouth like a fish.

Hooks is fingers by far for me. The worst was a zara spook in my shin that happened after I tried to quick cast to a striper that broke behind the boat. I tried the line trick over and over and it wouldnt back out so i pushed it thru 3/4 inch til it poked its point out and cut the barb off. That last little bit hurt you know. Another one was a dink bass on a baby O that did the wiggle at the wrong time and sunk a very small trebble hook in the joint of my pointer finger way past the barb - Had to make an ER visit on that one.

I have cut my fingers trying to pull loose a snag with braided line several times. You would think I would learn.....

One of the funniest thing that ever happen to me wile rabbit hunting in the river and boat. I had let the dogs and a friend out at one end of a island in the river. Another friend and I took off to go to the other end of the island. I run around the corner and hit a sand bar running wide open that stop my boat on a dime. My friend 6'6" 350+ was seating backward on the front deck with his gun laying across his lap. When we hit the sand bar and his hands full of gun he rolled end over end out the front of my boat. When he stopped he was standing in 1' of water with gun in hand. I LOL every time I think of it.

LOL

If that happened yesterday, there'd be a YouTube of it!

Was motoring through the woods in Bayou Metro and bumped a tree and a piece of a limb about two feet long and four inches thick landed on my head and knocked me smooth out. When I came to i was laying in the bottom of the boat with my buddies laughing at me. True Friends!! They didnt know I was out till the boat stopped.

I forgot to mention the time I knocked a cotton mouth off of a limb into my boat. That will make you hurt your self. All I could think to do was to start beating him with my minner bucket. I slung minners all over the slew. I about had a heart attack!!.

!!ROFL!!
Prolly an ole fish snake ?

They are all cottonmouths once inside the boat.

Tripped and landed face down in a aluminum boat. The fall was'nt bad but the sudden stop hurt like heck!

Ya'll can keep those Yeller Bass, we are lucky as Lake Nimrod ain't got any .:biggrin

There were two old guys that fished Gold Creek about ten years ago and they would take their thumb and rip the yellow bass gills out. You always knew when they were fishing because there would be yellow bass floating everywhere. I think of those ole timers every time I catch one of those $&@&#&#$^#& yeller bass.

HAHAHAHAHA. OK, read this:

The yellow bass or barfish, Morone mississippiensis, is a freshwater fish native to the south and midwestern United States.

"Morone Mississippiensis"???? Doesn't that mean "Mississippi Moron"????

I crack myself up sometimes.
