Hat. Miserable without a hat.

Definitely a hat. Also water, but between the two I've went off and forgot both at different times in the past and I missed the hat the most.

In that case I change my answer to eyesight. Can you imagine being a blind bass fisherman out on a boat...casting all over the place haha. That would make a good ed bass master video.

If it's just one thing it would have to be my hat.

This should be y'all #1 answer!

Mentholated cough drops

Well, besides from the obvious answer "equipment" (rod, reel, line, lures, etc.) I would say water. Not having a source of hydration can make for a very short day on the water. Honorable mention goes to tp, sunscreen, and sunglasses.

A Coke and excedrin or I'll get a nasty migraine.

Sunglasses and hat....wear contacts and if I don't have them....horrible headache will be right around the corner

Other than than gear it would be shoes or some kind of appropriate footwear.  On a boat I want a shoe that won't slide on the deck as well giving me side support.  We have fire ants down here, barefoot or sandals doesn't always work well.  On the beach, there can be broken bottles, sharp sea shells, jellyfish, debris being washed ashore and maybe a hook or lure.

My polarized aviators and a hat or bandanna .

There is too much "one thing leads to another" involved in this question.  But... other than a boat, I require bow mount trolling motor.  It makes covering water easy.  After you have fished from a bass boat w/bow mount TM for years,  trying to fish without one is an exercise in frustration.  I would rather wade fish than from a boat sans bow mount TM.

Marlboro Green 72's and a lighter.  I forgot my lighter one day- it was a short fishing trip.

Marlboro full flavors. ....and that is my serious answer

Green pumpkin senko

First and foremost water

Plenty of food and water to keep the energy up along with the focus intensity.  Most people don't realize how much focus they lose because of hunger.  Less focus = less fish!
