Recently?   Caught a pike that really wolfed down a Rat-L-Trap.  Needed the spreaders to get it back.  Pulled the Trap out, and threw the pike back in with the spreaders still in its mouth. 

Believe it or not, the pike was confused enough that it didn't go down right away, and I was able to reach over the side, grab the spreaders, and let the pike go a second time - without the jaw spreaders.

Got to the boat launch to discover I forgot to hook the boat to the truck.

drove 7 hours north and get to the lake at 6:30am, got the boat all loaded up and go to start the boat... left the key on the table at home  ??? thank god its just a tether style key was able to rig something up. have backed the boat into the water with the plug out a few times and have pulled the plug when the boat was still in the water before i loaded it up. dont know what i was thinking  :unsure:

Great stories guys. :laugh:

While icefishing one time I set my jigging rod in what I thought was quite a hard snow bank.
I had to leave just for a minuet to get some more bait not far away.
I decided to leave the hook in the water, when I came back the rod was gone. :o
Some big pike must have grabbed the lure and bolted, bye bye jigging rod. ::)

For the rest of the day all I had was one rod to fish with. :P

Tried to open my ice hole with explosives.   I augered 3' down and could see the water.  Some hardware, 100 feet of speaker wire and a lamp battery later....bang!  the ice groaned like crazy.   Not doing that again.  Ah youth.

Here's another one i pulled last week duck hunting...i do a lot of stupid things...was chasin down a wounded mallard in an old flooded field turned swamp/ pond and decided to neglect the fact it has irrigation ditches running the length of it...i was wearing chest waders and up to my waist when suddenly i was up to my neck :o..i was to the point of no return so i kept going ...now for the stupid part...after i chased the duck into the grass  :cursing:...later to be found by my dog who was busy getting other birds at the time....instead of going the long way into shore and around the ditch, i decide that i should be able to cross it somewheres else and be able to make it  :blink:  :cookoo:...WRONG i ended up going over my head this time and having to swim with chest waders and a shotgun in one hand...good thing it was a short distance and im a strong swimmer...well my buddy got a laugh of me swimming in some of the nastiest water ive ever had the pleasure of sampling...tasted mysteriously like the coffee i get at school  ???

What I did today was beyond dumb,more like wetarded. Launched my boat this morning,parked the truck & trailer came back to fine loads of water in my boat. Lesson learned,always put the drain plug in and never assume you did it before you left the house.

I finally got a chance to fish a private pond known for giant bass. Well, I grabbed my old standby rod I'd had for years and on the first cast I hooked a monster. that monster broke old standby in half along with my line. I only brought one rod so we had to head back home. Just as we left the guy who owns it came over in his boat with an eight pounder. Now I always take multiple rods and reels.
