i have been lucky to only lose small jigs now and then. My other drops have always landed near, but not in the hole.

The only thing to date, knock on wood, what the wire guard on my sunflower. Bumped it setting up and it was gone in a wink.

Jr's first time trying my telescoping scoop failed to twist-lock it in place and down she went.

Too many things to list.

But my all time favorite was my FRS radio I had sitting in my lap while fishing 2 holes up on LOTW. I made a move for a bite I had and the radio slipped in and plunged approximately 31.4 feet "32'fow" nobody noticed so I was going to play it off like nothing happened. I then noticed my Bobber was down, set the hook, and Low and behold my FRS radio hooked it-self on the way down by the seem, on a GenZ Worm "glow red of course"

Ive lost numerous cell phones over the years. Also have lost a couple pairs of glasses, a watch, a pager and Im sure alot more stuff that I cant think of at the moment.

Nice catch pier! Similar story last year. Fishing in 42ft of water and a small lake for crappies and my brother-in-laws handle on his reel popped off and went right into the hole. Little while later we noticed a bobber was done...reeled it up and there was the handle of the reel. Good stuff!

Used to like going scuba diving right after ice out. Spud bars were stuck in the mud like toothpics! It's pretty easy to tell where shacks are in the winter by the amount of debris on the lake bottom!

Makes you feel pretty stupid when you are on a good bite and quickly unhook a small eye using your leatherman and make the wrong toss. Buddy looks at you and says "so you gonna stick that fish in your pocket or what".

An iPhone 4. Worst part about it was that it was a work phone. I tried to retrieve it for about an hour using a hook and aqua view but Medicine lake is muddy 35' down.

business half of a hand auger -twice. fishing remote, light and fast, i would often separate the two sections. the T-bolt that holds the two pieces of the handle together didn't get screwed in tightly, and the drilling action caused the bolt to fall out completely. when the auger broke through, the bottom half went straight to the bottom.

many years later, the exact thing happened to my new hand lazer auger- my buddy was drilling, i was scooping, and just as i remembered to tell him to check the bolt, he pulled half an auger out of the hole.

i still have the gps cords for that one out on bald eagle in WBT.

My virginity.

1st cell phone I owned at Mille lacs. I could see it and flip it over with a jigging rap but could not get a hook in it. 3 times I have had to go out with my aqua view and retrieve my chisel from area lakes after the kids used it. It is the old baseball bat style. Bought at Franks Bait in Lakeville probably 35 years ago. You know you are getting old when your stuff is antique !!

[fowldreams]

The best was 20 yrs ago or so fishing with my father and I m screwing around with the chisel and there she goes. Theres a reason you put your hand through the rope I find out. He asks did you bring the chisel? Nope, thought you brought it. Odd he never did find that chisel again. Now I think its pay back with a son of my own because it seems every year I now seem too be missing things too. Gotta love fishing.

If it fits down an 8 inch hole, I've lost it.
