Fishing E Matty, tiny cloud slowly gets noisy as it crosses the bay at an angle, away from us... but it was growing the whole way. We get a light rain and are all wet, spread out over a couple of hundred yards. I hear a hiss and look around expecting a little rain hitting the water but it weren't rainin'. Eventually, I realize it is my rod tip discharging static. Hair on my arms would have been on end but I was soaked. I holler for all to come in and lay in the grass with me and the rattlesnakes. Another one of us in the flat-bottom, not realizing why we yelled at him to come in is making a wide circle to drain rainwater out of the boat but he gets in ok. One of the guys said he had a tangle of line on his rod tip, undid it and as he walked his hands back and touched his reel he got an electrical shock. I told him that was his clue to lay with the snakes!

Went to our lake house on toledo bend for one holiday i can't remember which one, our neighbor which is a friend of my parents comes pulling up with her husbands boat wantig to launch it, so i volunteer o help her out. I start backing down the ramp look in my rear view mirror and she's waving me back, i look in the rear view mirror again and she's not there no more and i'm only half way down the ramp, i don't see my parents friend or her boat. On my dads boat i always unhook the boat back him down and he backs the boat off, well on the particular CC (21' sea chaser) they don't have carpet bunks but teflon instead. you can figure the rest out fo yourself. Lesson Learned, always check what you are working with!

Lake Livingston - Beacon Bay
Took a stupid friend to Livingston. Put the boat in the water, told him to hold the rope. I come back from parking the truck and the boat is sunk, sitting on the concrete ramp. Forgot to put the plug in. He said that by the time he realized it was filling with water, he wasn't going to get his feet wet trying to put the plug in. Wasn't his boat he said.

Texas City Dike - Dollar Flats
Had shark yank me under. I was young & didn't know to tie the stringer to my belt loop only. Don't wade anymore.

heading full steam into the sulphur with zero visibility due to fog trying to beat everyone to mac lake only to find the sandbar with no water and sending my buddy face first into the front deck.

asking my buddy to steer my boat whilst i fix something while driving by the rocks in cotton lake and then realizing my buddy is texting and runs my new boat up onto the rocks...

tossing your buddy the rolled up cast net only to watch it bounce of the aluminum boat into the water.. no fishing done

calling buddy to drag his boat down from conroe because your tearing the fish up only to have him catch no fish for two days... then calling him again that same week and having him make the trip again and catching nothing..

could go on for days..

I am in a 17ft invader, thinking we will be fine. After I launch the boat get everyone settled, decide to gun it. Boat barely moves. I start going over all the things that could make it not get on plane. Finally I had to tell them it was because of their fat *****'s that we will just crawl the river at 5 f-ing mph's. Felt like I was in a one boat parade.

You shoulda done the "prom queen" wave to complete the act. (wrist, wrist, elbow, elbow, wrist, wrist, elbow, elbow) lmao

I very nearly threw my buddy out of my boat, twice, in the same day, "learning" where the bars were at in Moses Lake. My prop looked like beavers had been chewing on it by the end of that day. Don't leave your depth finder at home. Moses Lake has some good, deep holes, but it also has some shallow, not so deep places. DOH!!

Got boarded by a game warden in SA bay years ago. They were in an explorer and I was in my shallow sport. The large game warden was the one that got into my boat and I remember thinking, "man that isn't a very stable boat". It really leaned over when he was stepping onto mine. Anyway, he checks everything out and steps one leg back onto that explorer. The boat dips down so far that he almost falls in the water and his other leg gets dipped all the way to his waist. His gun got submerged and he was some kind of PO'ed. He spouts off a few choice words and as they were pulling away, the other warden is laughing so hard I can't even believe he was able to drive the boat. I've had my fair share of mishaps on the bay but it was pretty funny seeing it happen to the pros for a change.

Fishing the lights in a 8ft bass buster in the canals of sea isle hooking your buddy right behind you in the head with a trebel, he freaks out and flips the boat with all our gear in it.
