One thing i really miss is reading peoples funny/stupid moments. I went to the board and nobody's posted anything in a long long time!
C'mon folks we are not perfect lets here those horrible stories! I know what you are saying"you first"! well Here you go.
Early spring my friends and I went up to the park lake area for a weekend of camping and fishing. The second day there my friend and I are fishing for some pike when my friend lets out a horrible kinda girlish scream. I look over and he has a bomber long A stuck in his but cheek. So in a manly way he asked for assistance and in a manly way i helped him. Now in the process of removing the hook he flinched inpain. By his sudden movement i got the other side of the treble stuck in my thumb.
So here we are with my thumb stuck to his but and my wife and friends are watching us with the most puzzled look on there faces.
TRying to take the hooks out were not all that bad. We had pinched the barbs on various baits because the pike there where plentifull. Still had part of a barb left but with a couple of angled tugs we where free

How stupid was that!
Dog
My neighbour had just brought her new puppy to the cottage for the first time. The new puppy took a loving for a crank bait and got it lodged in his cheek. The neighbour was trying to take it out gently when the dog flinched and the other end of the crack got stuck through her nostril. She waited patiently with a struggling puppy, face to face, as we clipped the hook to set her free from the dog.
Haha.
Haha.
when i was a teenager (a long longggggg time ago) I went fishing with my best friend (still is) in Shirley's bay in a 12' boat. we fished for several hours before deciding that the island thats straight off the bay would make a good break spot.
We walked around the island for a bit, sat had a drink etc. I was looking out on the water and said to my friend "look!! some fool (insert other choice word) has let their boat get away and its floating away in the river. Only to clue in rapidly that the boat in question had OUR fishing gear in it!!! OH MY GOD ITS OUR BOAT!!!!! someone (NOT me) forgot to tie it securely when we beached it.
Thank god my friend was a very good swimmer, cause he was able to catch the boat....about 2 or 3 hundred yards out and bring it back.
AND just to add insult to injury (literally) the next week he was covered in poison ivy from the island
that was a fun day LOL and also the only time we've ever had a double header of decent pike at the same time. 9 pounds and 11 both in the boat at the same time

Re: How stupid was that!
Early spring, my friends and I headed up to the park lake for a relaxing weekend of camping and fishing. The weather was perfect, the pike were biting, and spirits were high. On the second day, my buddy and I were standing by the water, casting out lures in hopes of catching a big one. That’s when things took a… sharp turn.Seabass81 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2007 10:53 am One thing i really miss is reading peoples funny/stupid moments.
