Most humiliating experiance while fishing !!!

[justfishin]

We have all had crazy things happen to us while fishing over the years and some that will give you a red face. Here is mine, how about yours !

I was in my late twenties and my girlfriend and I used to jump in the boat on Friday nights, head up river and camp on a big sand bar. It was a very peaceful place away from the world.

   One morning at daybreak my girlfriend was making breakfeast and I had  decided to wade out to a big rock in the middle of the river with nothing on but, a pair of sneakers, all natural, ya know. It was pretty foggy that morning and my girlfriend was laughing at me. Me naked is a joke, lol. Anyhoo, I proceeded to start casting and out of the mist I heard " Sir !!!, sir !!! , get in the water please !!! in a very urgent tone. Out of the mist I heard laughs and giggles and low and behold here comes a girl scout troop in canoes floating down the river with me standing on a rock in just sneakers. I jumped into the water and squated down as they floated just 10 yard away. The scoutmaster lady and the girls were roaring laughing. I will never forget the scoutmasters comment. " I told you girls we would see some wonders of nature along the river, but, I don't think we have a badge for this one ". I was humiliated and my girlfriend on the shore laughing did not help matters any.

;D

I can't top that.  

[Catt]

Mine aint that embarrassing  

I'm known by all my friends and relatives as a stickler for being extremely organized but I once drove 45 minutes to the boat launch and only upon loading everything into the boat did I realize the fact I had left my rods at home.

[Bass Hammer]

I'm with Cart...there is no way I could come close to that ;D ;D

[Hookemdown.]

Let me get this straight.  

You and your girlfriend are alone (presumably)  You're already nude.  And you go fishing?

That's what I call a true outdoorsman.

[MALTESE FALCON]

I fell out of the boat while releasing a fish once, but somehow that doesn't even come close to your story.LOL

[grimlin]

That's gonna be a hard one to top...

Didn't happen to me,but some carper got his rod pulled in and he stripped down to his thong boxers(not lieing!) and went after his rod.I couldn't stop laughing after he did.A little later he came up to me and showed me this 3 foot long bowfin fish and my eyes got big.I was like dude,that's why it's not a good idea to strip and swim in these waters...look at those teeths.He had no clue what it was.

Your experience is [probably] unique, especially the part about fishing while naked and your gf nearby. Must have been a long night.

But anyway, my most humiliating experience came a few years ago while fishing a club tournament on my "home" waters, Lake Erie. I'd been fishing bass tournaments for 20 years, had won two state championships, and been #1 in my annual club standings at least a half-dozen times. The day in question, a non-boater with less than a year's experience--and no outstanding tournament results in that time--was paired with me. So what happens, naturally, is that this guy catches nice keepers all day long, in every one of my hotspots and on every bait he ties on, while I get 2-3 small keepers total. Most of the 20 club members limited that day...I had either the worst bag or next-to-worst...while my non-boater partner had the best bag. Everybody looked at me a little funny, like "I don't understand, were you doing drugs or what?" Just impossible to explain how sometimes you do everything right, and sometimes you do everything wrong. That's fishing. -- JC

;D These are great.

About eight years ago I was out at Lake Mohave with a some friends for a weekend of wakeboarding & what not and I brought along a small assortment of tackle and my UL rod so I could do a little fishing while everyone else was on shore drinking.  I manged to hook myself in the back of the head with a tiny trap on a cast while a group of good looking girls were watching me catch schoolie stripers.   :-[  Man did that suck.

[kybassangler]

Now that is dedication to the sport. ;D

[Jeff H]

Well....I haven't ever done anything like THAT!! That is just plain funny!! ;D

Humiliation for me was 1 fish in my first Pro tournament. After a somewhat stellar "amatuer" career and being one of the top hooks in my club I decided it was time to try my hand against the best local hotshots and all that money. It didn't go well. However, to my credit the conditions were extremely tough and nobody really produced anything the lake was really worthy of or noted for. There were lots of "zeroes" that day too. I don't know if I got the jitters and brain clog or what that day but it still haunts me. I always wished for a "do over" but the circuit never hit that lake again. I guess it wasn't complete humiliation but it felt awful close to me at the time. It did keep me from making the TOC that year though (I was 1st alternate) and THAT ticked me off.

[skunked_again]

those are some good ones, i myself have one good one and one i hope to never re-live. one was on tablerock lake way up in the big creek channel. we had caught a few fish and while fishing some stumps i had hooked a nice fish. my brother being my brother says" i wonder if theres another fish in there" and tosses right back to where i was. i swear, his crankbait sat on top of the water for a few seconds and then was sucked under by a fish..........so we thought. he does the whole set the hook thing, braggs a bit, and hauls his catch to the side of the boat (noting its not fighting at all). i lean over the boat to view his catch to see a rather large turtle with the crankbait stuck in its mouth. doug yells cut the line but me knowing thats a $6 crankbait says no.........ill get it. i lean over the boat with long plyers in hand just in time for the turtle to push the hooks out of its mouth, add that with my brother pulling up on the bait with his pole, and i now have a face full of treble hooks straight from the turtles mouth. we all know how clean a turtles mouth is right...........lol. lucky for me, only one of the barbs went through the skill. believe it or not its was easier to turn the hook out of my face than my hands. maybe cuzz i couldnt see what was happening.

the other time was at stockton lake. a storm chased us to the boat ramp and we were in a huge hurry to get off the water. another boater had put his boat on the trailer but had not pulled off the ramp. i waited for a few mins in my truck for him to move then finaly went down there, not real happy and asked him to move. in the middle of my not so nice plead for him to pull up lightning struck behind me scaring me to death. at that point i ran back to my truck like a little girl and waited for the guy to move........which he did.

There are only a select few people who I have told this too, so what's 10,000+ ........

About 5 years ago I am fishing a "new" farm pond with one of my buddies.  The day is going fine and then all of a sudden I hear and feel the "gurgle, gurgle, gurgle" in my stomach.  Breakfest is not agreeing with me!!!!!!!  I immediately drop what I am doing and head for the hills so to speak.  I find a VERY small bush to give me a little privacy, take off my shorts(don't want to get them dirty. I must have done this before.hmmmmmm :) and go about my business.  About half way through I hear "a" truck coming over a hill near by.  Impossible!!!!!  I am out in the middle of no where ................... except for that small dirt road that I now see....... d**n!!!!!!!  The truck comes over the hill, followed by another, and another, and another .... about 10-12.  Truck beds loaded with high school kids and a few kegs.  Maybe they won't see me ....... yeah right.  The parade of trucks went by and proceeded to honk, yell, and wave  :-[ :-[ :-[

[T-rig]

This happend to a friend of mine: He had an upset stomach and had to go "find a bush" every 20-30min. So after doing this about 6 or 7 times he came back with this stupid grin on his face. I asked what was going on and he said: Let's go home! I asked him why. He replied: I have to go home to change my shorts! While he was done doing his thing he slipped and fell in his own you know what! What a mess! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[RobDar]

I never fished till I was 30 or so...the wife was a fisher all her life...

the first "fishing trip" we went on, I hooked her in the head.

My most humiliating experience (or maybe I should say terrifying) doesn't top justfishin's story or many of the others for that matter.  I guess my experience isn't so humiliating because there was no one there to watch, but for a moment I was worried that someone might be around.  Here it is from a posting last summer.

I received permission to fish a large farm pond and tried it out yesteday.  What a day!  I had to fish in a small aluminum boat so I only brought two rods:  A baitcaster rigged with a t-rig and my spinning rod rigged with a shad rap.  Within 30 minutes I had 3 bass, all around the 3 lb mark, and all on a brush hog.  And then it happened.  I felt something on my foot (wearing sandals) and I looked down and saw the biggest spider I've ever seen crawling over my foot.  It's body (without the legs) was about an inch wide.  I jumped and kicked my foot and that was my big mistake.  The boat tipped to the side and water rushed in filling it half full.  I thought I could paddle to shore but it started to sink.  I jumped out and, fortunately, felt the bottom with my feet.  The water was chest deep.  I pulled the boat through the cat tails lining the bank forging a new path.  At the same time i was trying to keep my reels out of the water as much as possible.  I got the boat to the bank but it was so steep I could barely pull the boat a foot or two with all the water in it.  And that d@#$* spider was still floating on top of the water.  I was able to tip it up and get the water out and the spider too.  So  I cleaned up as well as I could, pushed the boat back into the pond, and continued fishing.  I caught 15 bass and 3 bluegill.  The bass were almost all in the 3 - 5 lbs range.  All but three were caught on a shad rap.  My baitcaster wanted to do nothing but backlash after getting the reel wet so I was unable to use it anymore.  I had my cellphone with me to take pictures but after soaking it in the water it was ruined also.  To top it off, I caught two bass on one cast.  One was hooked on the front and one was hooked on the back treble of my shad rap.  Both fish were about 18 inches.  Weird combination of good and bad luck, as well as a little stupidiy.

LOL!!  ;D Too funny!  The subtleness used to explain your experience just makes it shine.

Not that I can match some of the other ones, but my wife and I had been dating a few weeks and I had just met her parents. So me being the nice guy that I am I asked my father in law if he wanted to go fishing. So he drove for 2 hours to meet me in the hopes of going out for some sea trout and flounder. I drive about 45 min to the boat ramp I wanted to use, back the boat in the water and go to start her up. CRAP where are my keys. Well needless to say I had left them at home and had an hour and a half round trip to get us in the water. He laughed the whole way. I guess it was all ok he let me marry her.

[JayW]

No way I can top the first one! ;D
