I don't have any funny launching experiences, but this one time I was fishing at half moon with my dad and about 4 other boats under the bridge. Well I'm sitting on the icechest on the deck of the boat, when some bass started to hit in front me, so I reached behind me to grab my bass rod at the same moment the icechest that I didn't realize had wheels flipped me backwards like a dump truck into the 50 degree water. I never did get out of the water so fast! I took off my goretex pants and jacket and believe it or not, only the lower part of my jeans and the sleeves on my shirt were wet, and while I was putting on my dads coveralls to remain warm one of the other fishermen reminded me that "it was $5 to launch but another $5 to swim".... So we laughed about that and about an hour later i realized that my bass rod isn't in the boat, so i drug a rattletrap and caught it on my first throw
