Most humiliating experiance while fishing !!!

[FishTank]

I have a couple of funny ones but the one that comes up the most around the house here is this one......

I had decided to buy a new rod and reel at BPS which is about 2 hours away from where I live.  I got my wife and kids up at 6:00 am so I could get back in time to try out my set up.  We spent about 3 hours there and I came home with a Daiwa Zillion, a G. Loomis MBR 844C and a pink Barbie rod and reel for my 4 year old daughter.  Once we got back home we stopped at my favorite honey hole and we all started to fish.  After a couple of hours I had caught two dinks and my daughter had bagged about 15 fish including a nice 4lb+ largemouth using her Barbie set up and some 4'' Senkos.  

My wife says there is a lesson to be learned but I ain't listening.

It was really funny that nobody was there to see it, but when I tell the story everybody bust a gut laughing.

I went fishing on one of my favorite lakes, Yough Dam, got there about 4:30 am and nobody there. "Great I. Think," later I would wish someone was there a little sooner. Got the boat ready and went to back it in the water, using the rope trick. Had the rope in my hand, backed down the ramp and the boat slid right off the trailer. Really nice and just kept going. Then I realized that I never hooked the rope to the boat. looked all around and nobody insight. So I stripped down, nobody at the ramp at 4:30am, so who would see.  I swam out to the boat. grabbed on the bow and swam it back to shore. As I am walking up the ramp, Here come a club for their tournament. High beam right on me as 10 or so trucks pull in the parking lot.  As George from Seinfield said " It was cold in the pool"

[Bass Hammer]

LOL

[fishingfourfun]

Iliked the 1st story best! ;D

[insaneangler]

Everythings funny ;D

I was in the car with my brother once and I pointed at something and brought my hand back down and ripped a rapala off his air freshener and looked to see it very deep in my pointer finger which scared the crap out of me. (Now I am very quick to take the lures down from there when he puts them there) And while driving back to the house  he slows down because some guy is ridin' our tail :-/. All the nurses at the ER said, "did you catch the fish?" and I had to say I wasnt fishing :'(

I bet your mom and dad could tell us some stories.

O.K. put a rod & reel with a crankbait in my hand and watch me get humiliated.

[fish-fighting-illini]

Justfishing & Sean nobody is going to top those.

Mine is a little more of just plain not paying attention.

We fish a mixture of trolling motor only lakes ( cannot even have a gas motor on the boat) and gas motor lakes. It's on with the gas motor this trip off for next one back and forth. My buddy and I were him-hawing around about which lake and decided to go to the gas lake which is 40mi's away. Got all the way to the ramp no less and finishing getting ready to launch when we notice no gas motor! Arghhhh!

So it was 35mi's back the the elec only lake for the day.

[beetlespin91]

the first one is the best, anyways my story takes place at this pond with a main road right next to it, i ride my bike to the pond, now I was there for probably 20mins and i was throwing a rapala jointed minnow and i caught a bass that probably weighed 4 pounds and he got one hook in his mouth and one just past his mouth so instinctivly i take the one on the side out first and as i am going lip him he shakes and that hook that was just on the side of his mouth is now in my thumb as far as it will go, and i cant pull it out and the bass is still trying to shake so i got the hook out of his mouth let him go and i cut the line so i had more freedom with my hand, so now i have to ride home on a sidewalk next to a main road for about  1 and a half miles with one intersections to ride through and i cant stand up and ride because now i have to hold the pole and the handle bar with one hand.I lost count how many people were laughing at me. i had to pull the hook out with pliers which i had failed to bring.

[Siebert Outdoors]

well I really dont have any humiliating ones.  The best one I can think of is:

While out fishing out of my boat I had to poop.  So I got out and pooped in the woods like a bear would do.  Well when I squatted I touched some poisen ivy with me bum and woowoo's.  Well that made for an uncomfortable couple of weeks.  So to this day I dont poop in the woods when the plants are green.

[Cory20]

Ok, this isn't poop falling out of a tree nor does it involve gettin nakey.  

This summer I was at Round Lake, my local lake, working the lillies , when a family on kayaks shows up 5 of them.  They stare at me, I stare at them, they stare longer because they're kayakers.  I sigh, hope I can show off a bit.  First cast, huge blow up.  Getting the fish out of the thick pads real quick, oooooo aaaaahhhhhh the excitement... and I hear a little tick and my reel is in my left hand, rod in the right.  So there I am, taking turns between pulling the fish in with my rod, then trying to crank my reel all the while thinking I should just old man and the sea the SOB.  They laughed, I cried (on the inside) about the one that got away.  

(I got the whole mess sorted out to see what was going to be my biggest bass ever, for that lake, laugh as it swam around 10 stems still pegged, unhooked itself and then slowly disappear into the murky gloom.)

I have 2.

1.  when I lived on the beach, the stripers and blues used our particular cove to corner the bait.  It could be a very violent feed at times.  Well, about 5am, I hear them out there assaulting the baitfish. (it actually is loud)  I went downstairs, grabbed a rod off the wall and walked out into the melee.

In my underwear, up to my waist, surf casting for fish after fish, what a blast.  

Then my watch alarm goes off.  Time to get in the shower and put the brown polyester on.

I turn to walk back to the house and there are like 70 people casting and enjoying the morning paper and coffee on the beach.

It was a quick trot back to the house in my skivvies.

2.  Fly fishing at a private club, I hooked our local sports writer for the Providence Journal.  I hooked him with a 1/64 hook in the rim of his nostril (quite a tender spot to sink a tiny hook)

OK, full circle.

This private club was eventually bought by the state for the hatchery it has there.  This is the place where we held our Alumni event last month for CAST For Kids.

Guess who covered the event for the journal?  

It was nice to see Tom again and relive our first meeting 15 yrs before.  He's a good sport

I've got a couple that might be interesting......

1.  I was an outdoor columnist for the Erie Morning News in Erie, Pa.  I had hooked up with Joe Hughes, PR director for PRADCO lures and was to take him and his camera man out into Lake Erie to film for a couple of TV shows and for segments in PRADCO's "Best New Lures of the 90's" videos.  I was used to fishing on the front deck by myself...never having to worry about anyone else around me.  We were fishing new lures from PRADCO, one of them being a Rattling Sonar.  I tied one on and went to make the cast when I heard a CLUNK, followed by a very loud OWWWWW!!!!!  I had thwacked Joe smack in the back of the head with that 1/2 oz Sonar : .  Thank heaven they had the sense to edit that one out ;D .  Joe was a good sport and we fished for two days, putting a ton of nice smallies in the boat.  Embarassing?  You bet, but it only happened once...thankfully.

2.  This one happened to a friend of mine who was fishing in a creek arm on Kentucky Lake.  He got "the urge" and hung it out over the side of the boat and proceeded to drop a couple of "mud sharks" with his back to the shore.  WHile in the middle of this, he hears applause coming from the shore.  His wife is laughing hysterically as well.  He turned his head and the applause is coming from the 4th green of a golf course that was right on the lake.  The foursome on the green was applauding and laughing like crazy ;D .  He kinda forgot where he was....

[BassHunter69]

i cant even top that one  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[BassHunter69]

that sure as sh&$s a good one  ;D ;D ;D ;D

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 :-[ :-[ :-[

[BassHunter69]

ok heres mine getting hooked in the heads one thing but this happened when i was 13 was my 1st attempt with a bait casting reel and i was casting one of my grand dads old rapala's and orginal floater of course. i raise that old mowhawk pole back to take a cast i ended up hooking my self in the butt ,and broke the pole. paw paw didnt have any good pliers at the time to take out the hook so to the emergancy room i go. turns out they didnt have any pliers good for the job either and the old dr's too scared to use any major tools. so the dr hollars out the door for someone to find a fishermen and there i am with a lure hanging out of my butt. had to wait an hour and 1/2 before they found someone who had a pair of pliers that would do the trick. next was the tetnus shot and a band aid on my bum which turns out was a pink abnd aid needless to say to this day thats still a tender subject   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

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.

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

funny stuff reading this thread.

years ago i was fishing a local river with my dad and brother, and had to go #1, so i put my rod down in the canoe next to me, told my dad i had to go and got the "so stand up and go" response. i stood up in the front of the canoe and started to go, and my brother, being the loving sibling that he is, thought it would be funny to rock the canoe. what he failed to realize is that the lure i was using was swinging freely right next to me. needless to say i ended up with a treble hook where no man would ever care to have one. luckily it didn't get hooked too bad and i was able to gently pull it off.

i haven't gone fishing with my brother since then.
