Worst thing ya ever lost in the hole.....

I lost a rod down the hole on Vermillion one night, I tried to get it and in the process kicked my lantern down the same hole, then it was dark and I got out of my portable and in the process I got too close to the heater and melted the whole front of my new jacket. This was in the first few minutes of a long ice fishing trip.

I "know of a guy" who was in a boat and had his handheld gps in one hand and a marker buoy in the other.

He found the spot and chucked his gps right into the lake!!! LOL

That is the funniest darn thing i've read in a while! Thanks for sharing that story.

I lost a nice 25" walleye down the hole. I don't know, I've never dropped anything besides a fish down there. Call me lucky (knock on wood) but I don't keep loose stuff around me when I'm on the ice. I've got a system for everything so that I DON'T lose things I care about...just fish!

If you want to include open water - 2 cell phones in the last year. Wife isn't a big fan of this. Also, lost my favorite and most expensive spinning rod and reel last summer when I neglected to pull the lure completely out of the water before taking off to another spot. If anyone finds a 7.6 Mag Lite GLX with a Shimano Sustail 2500 in Ann Lake let me know. I tried snagging it for two hours before throwing in the towel.

I put a brand new bottle of Ice Hole in the hole to chill it, thinking that the bit of air in the top would float it, it wouldn't, it sank slowly to the bottom, but fast enough that I couldn't get to it. So I lost Ice Hole down the ice hole

You didn't lose it...you just sent it home. smile

A bottle of Ice Hole is a terrible thing to lose, indeed...

Last year in nearly 50 outings I didn't loose anything. Last weekend I lost:

Flash Light (stayed on all weekend in 12' of water)

Vex battery (camera got accidentally kicked and battery shot down the hole like a rocket) Lets hope that baby stays sealed up.

Fishing Pole - was able to retrieve with a jigging rap.

My sense of humor after I stepped back while bringing in a northern and stepped right into a 10" hole and went in up to my thigh. Those were my pre-bibs days so I had on 2 pair of sweatpants to keep warm. They soaked up water in 10 seconds flat and must have weighed 20 pounds as I was running to shore to get to the cabin.
