Lots of broken crap, rods, reels, things on the boat, etc....... I have dropped at least three phones in the water, and my landing net once. One time I stuffed a wave and the water took $100's of dollars worth of tungsten sinkers and other assorted terminal tackle in a plano box off my front deck. Been stuck with hooks a few times. I have had my boat get away from me lauching it twice when I forgot to hook the bow rope I use to the trailer. I took some allergy meds once before gong out, the fishng was slow, so I sat down for a minute, next thing I know I woke up and the boat had drifted the complete length of the lake (a few miles) while I was sleeping sprawled out on the center seats. None of this stuff seems as bad as when I don't do well fishing though....it just burns me in a way I can't describe.

I had low blood sugar, in my kayak, about a mile from shore. Imagine my horror when I realized I had forgotten emergency glucose, and had to paddle to shore for help. My BG was 32. Luckily I phoned friends that were on the water, and they met me at the docks with a bottle of Mountain Dew. Thank God for them. I told them if they saw my paddles stop moving just to call 911. I was THAT scared.

I never forget a quick source of sugar anymore. Ever.

Fishing on a beach one day with a buddy, he says hey a cop car is pulling up behind us. I didnt think anything of it since I was a cop. I looked back and saw that it was one of my agency and we were miles out of our jurisdiction. A deputy stepped out looking square in my eyes and I got a sinking feeling. He walked down to me and told me my Dad had a stroke and was in a hospital 50 miles away and not expected to make it. He survived but was a vegetable

My friend and I were fishing a lake with 30 mph winds rain and it was about 45 out caught a lot of fish decided to head in got half way back and ran out of gas. It was an interesting ride back to the ramp in 3 foot waves with a trolling motor that was going dead!!

The first time that I went fishing on lake Erie I was hung over. I had been deep sea fishing many times and never got sea sick. However I always took medicine the night before so I was fine. Well I did not know how far out we were going out to perch fish. Needless to say the ways kicked up and they issued a small craft advisory. I turned gree. I do not think that I have ever felt that bad before. It was somewhere between the drunken college days hugging the toilet lying to God that you will never drink again and the the worst case of food poisoning ever. I will never make that mistake again. The dick move is that my father-in-law took his medicine and did not think to tell me.

The first time I went out on Erie I got a little woozy, and I was not hung over. It was not all the rough either, rolling 3-4 footers,I was fine bobbing up and down in the waves for a few hours, then I broke off on something and when I concentrated on re-tying.......it hit me. I didn't puke , put it felt like I was going to at any moment. The rest of the day sucked, and once it hits, there is nothing you can do to stop it. Back on solid ground, it took about 10-15 mins of sitting in the AC in my buddys truck and I felt ok again. Now I don't go out there with out taking something before we hit the water. Even tho the last few times I have been there it has been calm, I take some anyways.
