wife says i "stink"

My loving wife told me that I'm beginning to smell, or at least my boat was. I didn't think much of it since she has a very sensitive nose which can put a blood hound to shame and can smell a single dead minnow in a boat. Well, couple days later i came around the boat and the stink had become "stank". I climbed into the boat and discovered a stowaway in the live well.

Morale to story, when the counter says 10 and you fillet 9, do not assume you are having another senior moment by hitting the counter twice. :yikes. Woo woo that smell, can't you smell that smell, the smell of death around you!!!! lol.

Don't you just hate it when that happens lol :Rofl

"G", the worst part of it was the, I told you so look and i was right smile on her face as she handed me the trash bag to remove the evidence. :banghead

bwahahahaha

Now that is FUNNY! :Rofl :Rofl

Reminds me of when I was a kid, and left a can of worms in the trunk of my Grandfathers car!! :yikes WHEW!!!!!!

From one Skynrd fan to another. Been there done that, even with the new boat. It's amazing how fast and how bad an 11 inch crappie will get to where a maggot would gag.

Walleye tend to throw up "everything" in their stomach when placed in a livewell. I noticed last week when I plugged the boat in that the livewell didn't smell pleasant. Went out this weekend, opened the livewell and wanted to throw up. Turns out a couple of what can only be described as untreated kipper snacks were in the livewell. I left her run for about 15 minutes with the drain opened. Went out last night, the same thing in the livewell. Only difference was this time I caught it early! The old saying "fool me once, shame on you... fool me twice, shame on me!". I don't think there is a third time in that saying.

On a side note, I noticed my truck starting to stink on Friday. Saturday I get ready to head north for a fishing trip. I grab the sleeping back out of the back and notice it smelled. Thought I found the culprit. I also found a thermos which my daughter put in last week (while sleeping in the sleeping bag headed fishing)... turns out it had MILK in it. Been roasting in the thermos in the truck all week... My buddy was dumb enough to crack the lid on it and it decided to go off like a bomb (in my garage). New rule... no more milk being brought for morning breakfast... pop tarts from now on!

Eeewwwww

Now Vonna, surely your better half doesn't do these things? :popcorn

Thats bad.........

Lol yep they get pretty bad smelling....Me and my son dumped about 30 crappie that I removed the filets from up in the bush behind our place alittle while ago,I thought we had them far enough away but at our holiday picnic there was some talk about the smell of something dead around.Me and my boy sure heard about it when we fessed up to why it smelled.lol

Lol, ad1974 I did the same thing, but behind my shop not at my house. Dumped about 50 or so crappie skins and heads, plus about a dozen or so white bass (whole) fertilizers in a ditch about 100 yards behind the shop. Well few days later got a good east wind blowing thru and the neighbor asked me if I smelled anything dead, It was all I could do not to pretend like :dono mean while managing not to :puke. Good thing my landlord is a good ole boy and loves to talk fishing, cause even though I've never heard anything and I'm sure if there was a complaint, he knows who done it...Lol

Think it's happened to everybody and Minnow bucket soup!!!!!!

There is a non-denominational church close to my shop. They had a Saturday catfish 'Noodling" tournament and fish-fry a couple years ago. There were several catfish up to 50 pounds caught and filleted. I know this because they asked for my assistance to borrow knives and how to use them. There were probably 20 catfish over 20 pounds dressed and the carcasses dumped into their dumpster next to the worship center. The garbage was normally picked up weekly on Monday but Sunday somebody decided it would be a good idea to park a church van directly in front of the dumpster. Monday came and the truck couldn't get to the dumpster, they left without emptying the mess.All the business around the church (it's about 100 yards from my front door, upwind) about gagged and got sick having to smell that crap for a week. The clouds of flies were unbelievable. There wasn't a whole lot of good things said about the pastor and those responsible for this fiasco. I'm afraid should it happen again, somebody will find a way to drag the dumpster to the front door of the church.

Happened to me a couple times. I have a weak stomach. Remembered to puke out of the boat the second time it happened. Had a mess in the boat the first time.

Did it myself once, and had a friend cover his for over a week with one in it. Got to the lake and popped the live well and MAN it was bad. And it had already filled with water. He couldn't figure out where the flies and maggots came from. In through the overflow pipe. Took a while for that one to quit stinkin, nothing left but skin and bones.

Did you filet the tardy crappie? <G>

All these comments make me glad I don't have a live well and use an ice chest!! :-))))))))))))

crestliner08, nope no fillet. As my catfish buddy said, fiddlers are the way to go. So, off he went to the local wildlife recycling center. Go green.

I'd venture to say anyone with a livewell or minnow bucket has done something similar at one point in their fishing lives! Easy to do when, "just one more cast", when you get home after dark!! Enjoyed all the stories!!

Been there and done that

YUK!!
