Yeah, but an aggressive pod of 25"ers. Sounds worth it to me.


Now you can get a St Croix.

I was wondering if anybody would say they lost their virginity?????

My older brother lost some skin to a Seagull!!!! LOL We went in to take a nap as the fishing wasn't great. Just set my pole in the boat. Came back out and as I walked on the dock a gull jumped from the dock into the water but my pole flipped over in the boat. Sure enough, the gull ate my minnow and swalloed the hook. We slowly reeled it in and while my brother was holding it to cut the line it's head lept forward and grabbed the skin inbetween his fingers/the webbing with it's pointed beak and wouldn't let go. LOLOLOLOL All on video and I am not sure I've ever laughed so hard. He was screaming but didn't want to let the bird go.

I have lost a rod/reel. WE have lost at least one net if not more. Usually my brothers and usually my fault. lol We did catch a rod and a Pflueger reel last year on Lac Seul. Looked like it had been down there for awhile. My brother took it home cleaned up the reel and now his son is using it. Works perfect so thank you to whoever lost that one.

Have also lost some walkie talkies but not technically lost. Just some who have fallen in with them in hand. We went several years where at LEAST one person fell in at some point. Yes, drinking was involved and always from the dock.

Haven't lost anything yet but snagged a rod on my minnitaki trip this year out in front of rice refuge

I left a Terrova 80 on the bottom of Lake St Joe last year. My wife says she will never forget the look on my face. Must have been priceless.

I did make a lunge for it at the last second, but to no avail.

You must have just gotten married right before you went. Mine has been on my finger 21 years, and I couldn't take it off if I wanted too...LOL. The only way is to cut my finger off.

The outpost boats at our lodge had concrete coffee can anchors. They wouldn't hold very well on windy days, so I started to bring my own. Left a couple of them at the bottom of the lake over the years.

I lost three pairs on sunglasses in one outing once, however I have found many things as well, but two are by far the most weird and stand out.

1. Fully loaded tool box that had washed up in shallow water...

2. an engagement ring that I found in a 23 inch pike I gutted.

I have also found two hunting knives, numerous hats, and countless fishing lures in great condition!

Sin or swim, you didn't happen to find that rod by the southernmost bouy in steamboat bay did ya? I lost that there about 5 years ago......

Two years ago while fishing in steamboat out of gold pines camp I lost a expensive rod reel and lure. My fishing partner and I tried to find them to no avail. We returned the next day with a drag hook borrowed from the camp owner this also to no avail. I just chalked it up to a bad experience. About two weeks after returning home the camp owner bill called and asked me to discribe the equipment lost which I did to include the flicker shad 5. It seems a family from missouri found them and wanted to return them. Of course then I had to plan another trip to. Gold pines to pick them up. I also sent the family a check

My friend's tilly hat flew off his head we said dont worry its a tilly. By the time we turned the boat around it had sunk. We said oh well must have been a fake.

3 of our core group of guys are firemen..last year one of them, my fishing partners son was bragging about how, through some outlet he got a $250 pair of Oakleys for just under $100..so we go on a day trip from Cedar Lake up the Ord River on a brutally hot day..this guy has ripped the sleeve off of his tee shirt to use it as a head band..on the way back he has these sunglasses up on his forehead driving the tiller..he goes to take the headband off and his Oakleys go flying off his head and into the water..by the time they circled back they were gone..every year we give out what we call "the boner award"..given to whoever does something completely stupid on a given trip..nobody topped his stunt this year so he still has it..
