We had 3 guys going from our camp to our boat slip at Spicers (short trip)
6 rods in the back of the truck sitting in a row. Well my friend had placed my starting battery which I was re-placing in the back of the truck. We took off anxious for a day off fishing stop at browns to get breakfast and my buddy pulls out and hits the gas a lil to much and the battery slides across the bed of the truck. We get to Spicers and all rods were crushed.Couple waterloos and my two G-Loomis all smashed. Meant no fishing that day and re-placing fishing rods. Bought Shimano from then on-!!

Another one is the time we followed Dink to try to catch tuna at the Lump in February at night... It was cold, 8-10 ft seas, owner of the boat got seasick ,GPS stopped working, ran out of gas on the way in after getting our azz handed to us all night, caught 1 red snapper that we had to release.

Was fishing tops in Fourchon with Pox and Waterbowl. Went to grab one off the floor and it jumped at the wrong way ended up with a hook to the thumb. Had to push it through bend the barb and slip it out.

It felt way better once they took off the 2lb trout that was attached and flopping around...

I went to Venice, LA one weekend to tuna fish. Two boats were going to head out. My boat decided not to go (which was a good decision due to bad wind). But my group (4 of us) decided to go to the house boat and fish for catfish of back deck and drink 3+ cases of beer. By mid day all beer was gone and we caught a few catfish. Well one catfish fell out of buddies hand and the fin went straight thru my shoe into my foot. Well being tough and drunk. We laughed it off then headed to store for more beer. Ended up picking up some Venice girls (not a good idea) and then heading to the local Venice bar (ideas just got worst). Ended up is a fight over 3 girls that where bigger than most of the guys. Moral of story....Venice is a fun place to vacation...

Fishing trout with a 7' microguide rod with 20# braid casting into the wind with 3/8 oz leadhead and queen cocahoe. Bounced the bait off the side of my poor wife's skull and left a goose egg the size of a chicken egg. Didn't get her with the hook, thank GOD, but darn near knocked her out. Bad day for me, worse day for my wife!

I was offshore fishing with my Dad out of Houma fishing for Cobia. Dad went to make a cast with a 4 oz Jig and the line was wrapped around the rod tip. The Jig swung around and hooked him in the face in his cheek past the barb. We were in 2-3 foot seas in a 20 foot boat and I had to cut the hook out with a small fillet knife using the tip.

My uncle bought my old man's jon boat when I was about 13 and re powered it with a brand new 35, I learned later he financed and had no insurance - hadn't made the second payment on it yet. Apparently he installed it himself too. We take off out of Joseph's heading to Bertrand and he is showered down when all of a sudden we smoke something in the canal and the motor goes for a swim. We troll back to where he thinks it's laying, and he goes to diving for it, and diving, and diving some more - never found it, and he kept making payments!

Another trip to the rock when I was in high school with my cousin and best friend. No sleep, fun night before, dumb move to go and a tough day in the sun dehydrating... But we wore out the reds (caught under poppin cork with alabama rigged crickets btw) and had a mess of skrimps so it was an awesome day. I pass out in the back seat on the way home and so did my cousin while my buddy drive, while the ice chest that we all said was way too heavy to go anywhere was resting peacefully in the boat. Made it home without stopping, but the ice chest didn't! Talk about a roller coaster of emotions going from everyone being pisssed and hollering at eachother to pass blame, then laughing about the whole ordeal, to finally feeling a little relived that we could just go take a 12 hour nap without having to clean all those fish. I hope someone saw it happen an got blessed with the bounty!!

I do remember one trip while I was living with my brother and his wife during my "College Years"...

I showed up at the house about 5:30 in the morning from a long night and they were just about to head out fishing so they asked me if i wanted to go... I've never passed up a trip in my life so I said sure. First cast out there I catch a speck and get a little slime on my hands... 2nd cast out I threw the whole rod and reel in the water...

Alcohol dulls the senses!!

Absolutely, I did that with a cast net on a crowded weir - forgot to hook the strap, I was lucky enough to have someone land it with their cast net. Walk of shame back to the boat!

First year down here I had to call the Sheriff's Dept to come rescue us at night from the IC side of VBay. Tides got me one time and gas the other They will NOT tow you in, but they will come get you. Also, one hardhead in the center of my palm and a gafftop right between thumb and index finger that made me almost sick with pain.

This one day long ago we decided to go bream fishing. Friend has an 11' aluminum boat we would just paddle around. Well, he and I were going but ran into another friend so he decided he wanted to go, and somehow another guy wanted to go also. He was in bad shape from the night before so thought this would be what he needed (to drink more beer). So there are 4 of us in an 11' boat with a beer chest and fish chest and 3 of us are fishing, other dude was just drinking. Dude right behind me goes to cast and thought he was hung up in the trees behind him so he keeps jerking to get it loose. The hook caught the drunk in the side of the neck and there was a dang cricket on the hook too which was now on his neck. Drunk guy ended up vomiting that day and I don't think I have ever laughed that hard when I saw that cricket still on the hook in his neck

At Elmer's island while trying to grab a trout a wave came and trout swam by my leg and got a hook in my leg had a hard time walking back to the truck with a 3 lbs speck dangling buddy popped it right out with a shoelace ImageUploadedByTapatalk1368461678.556118.jpg

Posted this one on the sportsman a few years ago.

After a long hiatus from saltwater fishing I thought it was time to go try some of my honey holes.....Being that they are in the shallow marsh I usually start catching the Red fish pretty good in Late April-August. On the fight card was my good fishing buddy who can not swim and my sister who is a super trooper, I will explain the super trooper thing later.
The wind forecast looked good enough, ENE winds about 6-8 knots in the morning, switching to SE at 10-12 knots in the afternoon. Good enough to allow me to get to my spots.
We start out toward Rockefeller only to run into immediate trouble when a vehicle in front of a line of 20 vehicles on Hwy. 13 is doing 30 mph. The vehicle behind the slow one is a big old rig with a trailer....he's not passing. To top it off it is foggy. Long story short we follow these goombas for about 10 miles till they get to the T and go left. We were making good time again when all of a sudden on Hwy. 82 a vehicle in front of us is wanting to pull off of the hwy......Only thing is he can't figure where he wants to pull off, so we go through the tap the brake lights and vary your speed from 15-35 mph thing for about 2 miles! It was torturous.
Not a big deal, I am patient. We launch the boat (no catastrophe here) and are on our way to catch some bait. We get to the bait spot and I don't see much, but I've got to try right. First cast with the cast net catches a 3 foot gar which proceeded to thrash and tear a human head sized hole in my net! No big deal, still can catch bait. Catch about 2 dozen mullets and off to the hole.
Get to the hole. Tide is up all the way. The entrance to my hole is almost completely silted up! I skid the boat over a sandbar and make it into the cut. This cut was wide open last summer, but it is not going to last long. Immediately when I entered the cut I noticed the lack of fish....I mean nothing. No bait fish, no big head wakes from reds, maybe a few Garfish, thats it! Long story short back here, we fish for 2 hours, covering about 2 miles and nada! Well, no big deal I've got other spots.
We head back out to another cut and proceed to look. We were in a long and winding cut as we were coming up to a bend I notice a bay boat come flying around a curve on the left side of the canal....I shut it down and immediately move to the right, (Road rules), this guy tries to go his left at the same time, while on half plane! As we pass within 10' of each other he is smiling......Thank God we didn't collide. Wheewwwweee! After this experience we continue to scour over 3-5 square miles of marsh for reds only to avail nothing! I was at my wit's end with the reds, so we decided to salvage the trip by catching some crabs.
We found a weir and starting catching some crabs. We caught about 5 dozen and figured that was enough, that it was time to head home. Here we go! While we were crabbing I had left my boat floating on one side of the weir, while we crabbed the other. Well, I get back to my boat and there is a good bit of water in the motor well.....hmmmm, wonder how that got there. After I re-rigged my bilge (Automatic float switch type) and removed the water we were on our way.
By this time it was about 1:00 and the wind was blowing pretty good (13 knots out of the ESE). I knew a back way, through the marsh to get to the launch, but I figured we would do fine in the gulf. Done it with ease plenty of times. When we get to the gulf the waves have gotten steep and close together....we only have a couple of miles to the entrance of the boat launch canal, so no big deal. We are moving right along when I look back at the motor well and my battery is almost floating.....Holy! Immediately I tell my sister and buddy to get on the left side of the boat, since I was quartering waves and they were coming in from right to left. As we moved a little weight to the left water came gushing in from the left side of the boat.....In the blink of an eye I was standing in water. The drivers console was about 5 foot up from the back of the boat, so that gives you an idea how much water was in the back. I hollered at my buddies. "Get to the front".....They both urgently ran to the front, my sister on the deck and my buddy right behind the deck. I had no choice but to throttle up to keep the back of the boat from submerging. This is where the waves started beating the Tar out of my buddy and sister. I was moving a flat bottom boat 30 mph in a steady 3 foot stacked wave chop in the gulf! Every wave that we jumped my sister and buddy were bouncing in the air, but I had to keep that boat horizontal or it was all over........Within about 3 minutes I was ankle deep in water, I dared to look back at the motor well fearing I might turn to salt, only to find the battery and the gas tank floating and the top of boat even with the waterline! We made it to a calm cove not a minute later........
Wow.......that was heavy. First thing my sister says...."Chris, I think I broke my elbow". We looked at her elbow and it was already the size of a Softball. I wanted to die for putting my sister and buddy through that. The bigger problem was to bail the water though, as the floor was now completely filled with it. Oh yeah, the bilge was running the whole time while this was happening. Couldn't keep up.
Luckily we were at a spot where we could go through the marsh to make it to the boat launch. I got my buddy to come towards the back of the boat and plane it off while I pulled the plug. After about 30 minutes of running on plane while bailing we got all the water out and we were almost at the boat launch. The boat had a huuuggggeeee gushing hole though. I figure water was coming in at least as fast as it was leaving through the plug hole in the transom! When we got to the launch we had not a minute to spare before this boat was going to sink. I dropped my buddy and sister off at the launch, my buddy cranked the truck and backed the trailer down......by the time I got the boat on the trailer I was ankle deep again. He pulled the boat and trailer out of the drink and the horrific experience was over. We could now breathe.
We didn't talk much on the truck ride home, it was only me apologizing and saying I will pay the doctor's bills. On our way back the toneau cover on my truck peeled open and a couple of my fishing buckets flew out of the bed. We just laughed.

Hope ya'll had a better weekend.

Edit: My motor got clogged with silt and stopped peeing, so I had to remove the cowling. I also had to remove the tell tale hose on my motor to blow out the debris. Without thinking, I removed the hose and the piece of plastic (re-stricter) which joins the cowling to the hose fell in the water. It goes on and on.
