once so far for me... I was sacalait fishing Half Moon in Port Barre (if anyone knows this place you know how small of an area it is and the number of people always there) when some bass started hitting in front of me. Well I was fishing on an ice chest that I forgot had wheels on the back of it, and when I leaned back to grab my bass rod, I did a complete back flip off of it into probably 50 degree water! Got out the water so fast that the water didn't even have a chance to seep through my outer layers of clothes. Stripped my jacket and wind pants off, and I was dry underneath, only my head, hands, and feet were wet. Later on I realized I must have knocked my bass rod overboard, so I went back through that area with a rattletrap and ended up catching it on my first throw!
Everyone around the bridge got a good laugh, even had one guy tell me that its $3 to launch but another $5 to swim haha
