Good day turned bad.

Today Linda and I decided to hit a spot where we caught some bass a week or two back. I was a little windy to fish it correctly but we gave it a try anyway. By the time we pulled out of there we had 16 bass.

We moved to a spot we had never fished before just doing a little scouting. We caught nothing there, in fact I lost there. Lost my phone that is. My daughter had called me and I was sitting there just talking to her when I looked up and saw a large wasp about 3 foot from me heading right at me in attack mode. I pull the phone away from my ear and the wasp hit my hand holding the phone. I retracted my hand so fast that the phone stayed in midair, that is for about 2 seconds and then splash. End of story. No pictures of fish or anything else for a while.

I have lost one to a lake before too. It is hard to start over with all the contacts and pictures lost.

Pictures aren't a problem but all my other info will take some work to get back.

Sorry to hear that Paw-Paw. I hate wasps!

Sorry you lost your phone, them red wasps are mean!

Hate to hear that PPG. I've always been paranoid about losing contact numbers, so every once in a while I'll write them all down (or update an existing list) on a spreadsheet and email them to myself. That way if I can't find a hard copy, I can pull the most recent version up on yahoo mail. It won't be 100%, but better than starting at 0%....

But hey....at least you caught some fish beforehand. :)

Good catch.....sorry about your phone

Well at least you did not do it on purpose. My mom threw hers in the pond years ago! lol At least yall caught enough for a few suppers.

Obviously your daughter owes you a new phone. She shouldn't have called when a wasp was about to attack!

:biggrin

Thanks fellas, and George that's the same thing I told her.

That stinks but it is a good cover up story..did ya really catch those bass? lol just kidding...that really does suck...hate those wasp too..been stung too many times on the water.

Ouch that had to hurt :yikes

Dropping that phone hurt more than any wasp that got to me.

I'd trade my phone for 16 bass. Not only will I have had been able to fish/catch fish...... but half of the aggravation of every day life would be gone.
I bet the old curly q phones would still work after a dunkin.
All jokes aside, sorry ya lost your phone, Mr gene

I called you today PawPaw and a garfish answered. Nice catch, bad wasp.

Just for future reference. You can backup your contacts and pic's to your gmail account automatically, if you have a gmail address. All you have to do is tell your phone to in the Google settings. No more lost contacts and pics. And when you get a replacement phone sign into your gmail account and voila there is all your info. I personally don't have any contacts on my phone they all are on my gmail account and my phone reads them from there.

Darn!!! Hope you didn't have an allergic reaction to the sting! I always carry a couple of Benadryls with me for just that reason - cheap insurance! Anyway, now you have a good reason to buy a new-and-improved phone, play with it while you load it up, and go back and catch some more bass so that you can take some pics and brag about it all!

PawPaw .. A big red wasp stung me right on the tip of my nose yesterday ! I thought I would pass out . Both my eyes almost swole shut . I'm ok today but my eyes still a little puffy .

That sucks losing your phone I know but at least you got some nice bass out of the trip .

Me too

Sorry PPG. Ya better tie a string on that new phone.:bash

Got stung once years ago on City Park golf course. Midweek, no one around. Knocked me to the ground, clutching chest barely able to breathe. Very scared. Finally lets up after a few minutes and start being able to take deeper breaths. Get up, walk in clubhouse, call Dr. , tell him what happened. He says "Sounds like you had a reaction. Go back to playing it did not kill you." Swear, true story.

Paw Paw been a tele-phoning. Is that legal? lol:Rofl
