I went on a spear fishing trip with bananas on board. Captain wasn't too keen but to make the customer happy he let us bring them. We had gone with this guy probably 3 times before this and all were stellar trips with 0 hiccups. Everything went great every time. This time my cousins speargun broke, he lost his goggles, his regulator locked up 80 feet down( thank goodness for secondaries). If that wasn't bad enough the boat broke down. Soon as that motor quit I went for the ice chest and threw those bananas as far as I possibly could. Few minutes later the boat cranked up and not a single issue for the rest of the trip. Ever since then I have not allowed bananas on my boat. I did try it once after that trip on my own boat and didn't catch crap in stellar conditions and had a bunch of other things go wrong. It only took me one test trip to ward me off of them forever. I'm not superstitious at all but I certainly don't take the chance anymore
