We also sank my uncles boat at Rockefeller on the beach. After the first wave came over the side it was all over. Nothing we could do.

My Brother was fishing at the mouth of the Mississippi river. He was in a small boat that tipped over and naturally lost all his stuff including his wallet. This was bad but the wierdest part was that a month after it happened a shrimper in the gulf of Mexico was dragging for shrimp and found his wallet/credit cards in his wallet. Naturally no money was found in the wallet.

My grand paw was trolling by the Mouth of the Mississppi river and fell over board, some kind of way he ended up catching one of the towlines and pulled himself all the way back up to the boat. When he got back on the boat he turned to my Uncle who was deckhanding for him and asked if anything fell overboard. He never noticed him falling.

When I was about 16 I straightend a curve and stuck an old heavy fiberglass hull about 40 yards into the marsh right at sun down...I was by myself. I did not get the boat back into water deep enough for it to float until around 10:00 that night. The mosquitoes trained me well for several hours. Lessons learned, Always bring OFF and make sure you know where the channel is.

Recently me and BassYakr were going after some trout on a Monday evening in prien, the bite wasn't there like the day before so we tried fishing some lights on the way in. Sat around a while catchin one here and there then we hear tires screaming and a loud bang and crunch. I could tell there was a bad accident not too far from us. Turns out a f150 smoked a car at the country club x big lake rd intersection.

When I was twelve I went fishing with my dad and my best friend in Dubission Lake north of Washington La. When we were done fishing we went back to the boat ramp to load the boat on the trailer and my dad tells me don't go whip donuts. Well low and behold I didn't listen and I ended up ejected from a 15 ft alumacraft with a 30 hp Johnson doing circles around me in the middle of the lake. I had to wait until boat passed me up and then swim out of its path. After treading water for almost 15 minutes a Good Samaritan finally came and plucked me from the water. Then I had to go to the boat launch and explain to my dad I had done what he told me not to do. I waited for the scalding but I never got as I guess he was just happy I didn't get hurt. About thirty minutes later two other guys realized there was a boat doing donuts with no one in it and rammed their boat into it and hopped I and brought the boat back to us at the landing.

I can promise you swimming with a boat going around you in circles at about 25 mph is not fun. Especially without a PFD on. Guys I can say use your kill switches. This was back on a 85 model and it didn't have one. I know we all say it won't happen to us but it does.

You know it is going to be a good day of fishing when your brother throws the truck keys to you when you are not looking and all you hear is them hit the back deck of the boat and fall in the water.
You know it's is a even better day of fishing when you call your wife and tell her what happened and she has to drive 4 hours to Vinice To bring the other set of truck keys. Even better day the following day is your 5 anniversary She tried to convince me that she could overnight them to me. It was Saturday. FedEx does not deliver on Sunday |

Fishing at the Worm last summer, I had caught a small catfish and I was going to take him off my line when he shook free and dropped. I was sitting down wearing short pants. When he fell he stuck me in my knee. Not just stuck, I mean he was attached to my leg by his side fin... wiggling. The fin went in about 1” under my kneecap. I had to rip him out. The next 30 minutes was the most pain I think I have ever felt in my life. I could feel the poison traveling up my leg. I had to lay down in the boat because I thought I was going to pass out. I woke up the next morning and could barely stand.
Three days went by and the knee only got bigger. Ended up having to get on antibiotics for 2 weeks. |

Here is a west coast nightmare for you.
Was commercial fishing on a drag boat many years ago. We must have got him when we were dropping the trawl but we got a 1000 lb bull sea lion in the bag and dragged him around for 12 hours at 600 fathoms. There his 40 percent fat carcass started to aneroebically decompose immediately. We found him in the bag and usually it is no big deal. Hook him up wit the deck boom and swing him out of the bag, fill out the paperwork and report him to NOAA. The deck boom broke. Nice sunny day and 1200 lbs of dead seal meat sitting on the deck rapidly ruining 20,000 lbs of sablefish. But we came up with a solution. We keep a chainsaw on the boat for cutting up snag logs that get caught up in the net. I pitchforked, puked and almost died but in no more than three of four hours we had that 1800 lb sea lion out of the net and the deck cleared. I just went and puked a bit as I wrote this up. |

You shovel you some rotted sea lion sludge out of a pitching boat after being up for 14 hours and see if it dont grow! lol!
A few years back took the family to the beach off the Lost Coast and my dog found a long expired Sea lion and rolled in the greasy mess. If momma had'nt been along I would shot him. I dry heaved the whole way home with my head hanging out of the window, kids screaming and crying, eyes watering. If I had known she was going to divorce me I would have shot him. The smell is a combination of roadkill and that one fish that fell behind the seat in the boat and sat out all weekend, indescribable. |

My wife was chewing on me because I never let her throw the good rods so I hand her a brand new Curado/Crucial combo to quiet her down and I go back to fishing. About two whole minutes later i hear a strange splash and think No Way. I turn around and shes standing there empty handed with an oh ***** look on her face. 30 ft of water it was gone.

My uncle had to work one weekend and let us (my uncles step-son, my brother, and me) hunt his blind without him. The boat launch was very narrow and made a straight drop on the sides, so we made his step-son back the boat in. Sure enough, he jackknifes the damn trailer of the side of the ramp and the boat and everything goes underwater! When he went to pull up, my truck would only spin. We hooked his truck up to mine and pulled it out, but in doing so put large rocks through the grill of my truck breaking pieces off of it and cracking my windshield. Everything was still in the boat except for my uncle's robo-duck. We decided to head to the blind and look for it when we get back. We didn't shoot a damn thing that morning and all the liquor the night before gave me the $h!ts in the blind where we had no toilet parer! I still thank my brother today for giving me his socks. Brotherly love at it's best!! Anyways, we get back to the launch and probe with the push pole for about 20 minutes and found the robo-duck. A little water and PB Blaster had it working better than ever. Needless to say, we weren't allowed to use my uncle's boat again.

Wish there were phone cameras way back when because this picture would be a classic. My dad was a devout Bass fisherman, he also loved to fly fish. He was fly fishing one day under windy conditions and was having some difficulty placing his popper. On this particular cast he tried to put a little extra on his forward swing and hooked himself on the top of the head with his popping bug. What made it even funnier was he had a flat top haircut and it looked like that popper had just made a perfect landing on the top of his head. needless to say he was not laughing, however I (at 8 or 9 years old) could not contain myself and was pratically in tears. Regardless, it was a bad day for dad, but still makes me laugh to this day.
