Down the Hole

[snowman678]

Yes, completely serious. I guess only BG's allowed sarcasm. I'll try to remember that in the future.

Only a bunch of fish that weren't nearly as big as i told people they were!

I actually have 2 stories of lost items. the first was a self inflicted one. I was fishing with my dad and son on LOW and `accidentally` has one extra line down. I heard a snowobile pull up and looked out the window to see a dnr on the side of the snomobile. well I made an executive decision and threw the rod I had in my hand down the hole. The officer had come in and told me he was from the fisheries and was just taking a survey. He didn't even check the lines. After he left I decided all of that served me right and I deserved to lose the rod. About 1 hour later I catch a walleye in the same hole with a new rod and low and behold it had 2 jigs in its mouth. I pulled the other line up and there was my rod. the walleye actually ate the other jig first then the one I was fishing with, so I got my rod back.

2nd story and the worst one, we were partying on Mille Lacs and dropped a unopened big bottle of Captn Morgan right down the hole. Never to be seen again. This one was much more of a loss!

I had a good season in that the one thing I dropped I caught. I had unhooked a fish for another guy in the house. I stuck my leatherman under my arm and turned to throw the fish in the pail and my leatherman dropped out of my arm down the hole it went but it wrapped around my line so I just cranked it up. Lucky for me.

I introduced my girlfriend to ice-fishing this year. We were fishing in the portable, and I had my back turned when the house went dark. Apparently the propane lantern tipped over and slid right down the hole, upside down right in front of her. She just watched it go down..... The vexilar lit up from all the bubbles (fresh bottle of propane was just attached and the lantern was turned on high). I stood over the bubbling hole trying to hook the lantern with the biggest hooks I had. After about a half hour I started getting dizzy from breathing in propane, and gave up.

On the way out, i got my truck stuck in the snow. Luckily, my girlfriend was there to pull me out with her SUV.

Speaking of things almost going down a hole... this is my buddies truck on Chisago March 10th of this year, I was about 5 minutes behind him getting to the lake, I got a phone call get here quick. I jerked him out with my FORD..

On Red Lake I lost a camera flash I use to flash my glow lures. I had only had it for 30 years. The next morning I put the camera down and there it was but had no way to grab it.

I lost my glasses down the hole, when I fell into a hole!

That's the hole that somebody chipped out for spearfishing and didn't leave any markers. Weather was luke warm and only a thin glaze of ice was there. Couldn't tell if somebody was there fishing earlier. It was 9 pm on a straight shot back to the parking lot. I was mad, dissappoint, irate, and cussing at freezing along the way back to the car.

Brrr...

I knocked the coffee cup lid to my favorite thermos down the hole. You'd have thought maybe it would have trapped a little air & gone down kind of slow, nope right to the bottom like a rock. We meant to try to see it with the Aqua View, but forgot. It's not like we had anyway to get a hold of it anywayg, smooth cup, no handle.

I was out fishing the other day and I dropped my Arctic Armor suit into a hole... No problem though 'cause it floats. (Sorry, couldn't resist)

[JSTARK]

A big fish almost every time I go out.... I'm always good to loose the first big fish of the year! They are always big if you loose em right?

[comicdog]

Great thread. Did not loose anything in the whole; did drop my cell phone in the bait bucket though. Ouch.
